Painting underside of rear fender

(1/2) > >>

Athame57:
My rear fender has a lot of blemishes appearing under it now, so sometime soon I'll be taking it out for a good sprucing up. Is it a bad idea to paint beneath it, how should I best go about the job? :)

ozzybud:
It was the standard Honda flash Chrome from the factory which is very thin. I would suggest scrubbing with Scotcbrite or steel wool. Then use Por-15 or a similar rust neutralizer. Then rattle  can some silver metallic paint over that. It will be easy to keep clean and look attractive.

I have just done the underside of both of my mudguards, I derusted as much as possible with I think it was Kurust and painted with silver Hammerite. I’m pleased with the look but I guess only time will tell how it lasts. I never use my bike if the roads are wet or salty though.

davidcumbria:
After rust treating and paint spraying I think a protective coating of xcp rust prevention spray should keep it good. It is much more robust than acf50 ( does way better on tests ) and forms a hard protective skin.

DomP:
Another option after treating the rust with something like deox gel is bilt hamber dynax ub, it's a dark brown/black coloured self healing underbody wax.
