I road my G3 out to Castle Island and blew a bearing on my way home. So now it&#8217;s time for an upgrade. Since I had to tear the motor apart to fix it I figured I would paint the case while I could. First, I should explain its been a life long goal to paint something and have it come out like a factory finish. Durable and clean. So here goes try number 1,234,969,435,443. Never fail when I rattle-can something it comes out looking like I painted it in the wind or the rain. It just never looks as nice as I&#8217;d like. So I thought I would try some new techniques. I bought a sand blaster and purchased the paint from the auto body. I don&#8217;t have a spray gun so I had the auto body put the paint in a can. I have my doubts about the pressure when applying the clear but I figured I would try it. The urethane paint went on really nicely&#8211;much nicer then the typical rattle can. However, the clear from the bottle didn&#8217;t go on well at all. I think it was from lack of pressure. Oh well, in the end a case doesn&#8217;t need to be perfect. Next, I&#8217;m going to try powder coating but I need to get a few more things before I can do that.<br \/>\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"flashvars\" value=\"offsite=true&amp;lang=en-us&amp;page_show_url=%2Fphotos%2Fhabbyshaw%2Fsets%2F72157625342861376%2Fshow%2F&amp;page_show_back_url=%2Fphotos%2Fhabbyshaw%2Fsets%2F72157625342861376%2F&amp;set_id=72157625342861376&amp;jump_to=\" \/><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/apps\/slideshow\/show.swf?v=71649\" \/><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/apps\/slideshow\/show.swf?v=71649\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" flashvars=\"offsite=true&amp;lang=en-us&amp;page_show_url=%2Fphotos%2Fhabbyshaw%2Fsets%2F72157625342861376%2Fshow%2F&amp;page_show_back_url=%2Fphotos%2Fhabbyshaw%2Fsets%2F72157625342861376%2F&amp;set_id=72157625342861376&amp;jump_to=\"><\/embed><\/object><br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/www.habbyshaw.com\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/5158993861_e3cd586abe_o-2-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Painting Sachs Motor\" style=\"width:100%;max-width:100%;height:auto;display:block\" \/><br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/www.habbyshaw.com\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/5159600658_4737fffb92_o-2-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Painting Sachs Motor\" style=\"width:100%;max-width:100%;height:auto;display:block\" \/><br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/www.habbyshaw.com\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/5158994875_ddf7299986_o-2-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Painting Sachs Motor\" style=\"width:100%;max-width:100%;height:auto;display:block\" \/>      <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What&#8217;s a moped rally with out a break down?
