Thanks! For the Plasti-Dip, I used the white in the spray can. Picked it up from Home Depot. I think it runs about $7 a can. I went through 3 cans of white and 2 cans of Glossifier. I removed the front and rear fender completely. I then unbolted the tank and masked the rest of the bike with a big plastic drop. I also removed the silver tank panels because I had purchased the black ones from Ducati. Each part has 4-5 layers of the white, then another 3 layers of the "Glossifier". I am pretty happy with the result. Washes clean easy enough and not permanent. I'm already planning my next "look", but I'll give it a few thousand miles before I change it. I also recently Plasti-dipped my foot pegs and have been pleasantly surprised by the result. For those, I actually used the "dip" formula where you dip the part into the can of product. Following the directions on the can, I did 4 coats and let dry for 24 hours. I have about 400-500 miles on them and they haven't started to peel or anything. Cut down on the "silver" on the bike and they are much more grippy.
For the ceramic paint, I used
VHT FlameProof Coating in black. I did the interval bake on method they recommend, using my home oven. Pretty simple to remove the parts I painted, and did those while the white plasti-dip dried. So far, so good. No chipping or flaking yet. One note, I did clean everything really well before plasti- dipping or painting.
Good luck!
. We tried it out and she is very happy with it. It is aluminum, so any real force would cause it to bend easily. I was concerned about lower back injuries in a rear end collision. I also painted it with "Rustoleum Carbon Mist". The color is very close to the "Charcoal" Ducati used on the frame.
