I painted one white once. well lets say it looked good for a day. after that it was always dirty. I ended up stripping it back off and went back matte black for many dirty reasons.

yes, I used automotive base coat then clear. It will look good but it will always need cleaning. I recommend rock guard as well.

That's my nickel on it due to inflation .02cents doesn't do much anymore...lol

Optimized how often did you clean your bike? I clean my every other tank did you clean yours more or less than myself?

This is just too funny, lol

In the year I've owned my S3T, it's been washed exactly once, and that was only after a cross country ride.

My CR has been washed maybe 3 times.

They'll both get a cleaning this week, though, but only because I need to do the car good and waxed before winter.

Mine too. And other schmutz. I really should take better care of my bikes. They are soooo filthy.

Clean a bike? Why would anyone do that?
