Wow the black handlebars really finishes the look nicely. Great job!

How many coats? Any base coats before the top coat or did you rub the bar down with degreaser first?

Just soap/water... I would say 5 to 6 coats

How did you do the underside?

I didn't.

You can't even tell...

Why got through all the trouble masking all that off. Takes all of 5 minutes to take the bars off. lol. I guess if that stuff is thicker than paint (like mine) that would probably be a good idea so you don't have fit issues.

I was thinking that too, but didn't want to say anything, ha ha. If I was going to do that (and I may on my Triumph), I'd mark with a Sharpie where the controls stop and where the risers go and then take the bars and controls off and tape up just from the Sharpie marks out to the ends and the riser area. Then you can coat the underside too and shouldn't have fitment issues.

Kinda weird to say, but I really enjoy taping/masking stuff off for paint. Give's me a challenge. Also, I'm not sure how well the stuff would hold up when tightening the controls back up. I don't think it turned out to bad.

This stuff is way thicker then paint. There would be fit issues for sure.

I agree, but the out come looks great!

I'm thinking this is my next Mod. I really want to paint my handlebars black also, but I want to avoid the plasti-dip cause its so think. What kind of paint would you guys recommend to do this?

did you use the smoke color?

and is there a reason you chose this stuff over regular paint? never heard of it but it sounds pretty cool. and your bars look great by the way.
