95 klr paint fiasco

[rther9491]

saunas , i know all about those saunas richard as i used to go to camp at - wolf lake - up by republic in the upper peninsula of michigan . of course everyone had a sauna at home anyway except for the non-natives yoopers . i used to go with the rankinens and makis and luomas and haalalas . we'd drink beer while the fire got going to heat up the rocks . ----- you may be familiar with the upper peninsula and some of its fine folks and the way that some of them spend a couple of nights at camp after doing some snowshoeing while hunting rabbits !!!

Is there a yooper dictionary or is this from Dr. Seuss? Alan Henderson A13 Iowa

Good morning. Sounds like Marin County on the Left Coast. They were doing something with peacock feathers and hot tubs. Only the accent is different. George Escondido, CA

I'm repeating myself also - all of the major automotive paint manufacturers make plastic primers and adhesion promoters that support successful painting of polypropylene, and some have tech details/instructions on their websites (PPG does). With the right primer, you can use either rattle can paint or automotive mix-n-spray paint. I painted my A16 black with automotive basecoat and clearcoat over plastic primer, it's holding up fine. It's on the picture page. As far as black plastics, not much available - but I run a black Acerbis front fender sized for a late-model Honda CR125 (with redrilled mounting holes). Chris

From: "klr6501995" Subject: Re: 95 KLR paint fiasco I'll say it again. My 95 is painted black. I used bulldog adhesion promotor and flat black enamel. several coats of each with a light sanding in between. Has held up to the florida jungles very very very well. After two years I can still fold the fender w/o cracking. I store the bike outside w/ a cover so the very edge of the front fender shows it's true colors. I ride every day. The hand guards show the worst wear. Not enough to bother me. I just didn't want to be in the boondocks and get caught by some rednecks on huntings lands where I might have missed a verboten sign. look in the picture section. I'll try to find a picture and post. --- In DSN_klr650@yahoogroups.com, "Mike Peplinski" wrote:
