I've been wanting to do this for a while.
We did Marys' F150 back in August and the results have been as good as advertised, which is to say, pretty amazing.
There is a fair amount of prep before the ceramic coating can be applied.
Gotta pull off as much as possible to get to the paint. Started-
Both saddle bags removed, passenger seat, rear luggage rack and both back rests removed.
Ack, it is horribly dirty!
Removed the front fender.
Time to wash it. Ideally I would remove the rear fender and the tank. But I don't want to do it that badly. lol
All done with the initial prep, which is removing all dirt....everything, and all wax, taking it down to the clear coat.
Next step, (which will be one evening this next week, or next weekend) is to use the McKee's 37 Coating Prep Polish. For that step I will remove the tank console and the riders seat. The Prep Polish makes sure there is absolutely nothing on top of the clear coat, and gives it as bright a shine as possible.
This will probably take an hour or two, I already did a pretty good initial prep today. After the Prep Polish it is probably only 30 minutes or so to apply the actual Ceramic Coating. After the coating is done, bike needs to sit for a few days to let the ceramic harden
Pretty stoked to finally be doing this. Looking forward to having a glass like finish!
If this turns out as good as Mary's truck, I will be to tackling the Trike next!
