How to make my dog look dirty and cheap!

[KROGOTH]

I know some guys that would send new racecar parts out of the country,before they would cover the parts with dirt an grease,so the taxes were for used parts:flag:

Will the grease do anything to the paint or chrome?

 

[mcgroom]

Grease won't hurt it. Just take some time to clean it.

What about taking the bike down to rolling chasis and shipping the rest to yourself? Or would the cost to ship be more than the taxes?

 

[gearsmithy]

sounds like a lot of damn trouble for nuthin if you ask me. just rent a bike when you get over there.

 

[Raywood]

Hey, how did I get thrown in this?


R.A.T.T. bike means Ridden all the time

 

[hollywoodjohnny]

keep the DOG looking great. buy a vesba and take it to europe. not worth all the headache to mess up your beautiful bike for some stupid rules.

This has to be the stupidest thing I've heard in a long & I mean a LONG ass time, are you serious ?? get a grip, RENT A BIKE THERE !!!

Keep in mind that some of the products mentioned by our friends here... If left on for awhile, especially if it's in the sun, could potentially be very hard to remove later.

Ed,

I know "it would be hard for you to do", but why don't you just offer up this guy a fast, cheap, and real shitty paint job to do the trick he's looking for!
Can't you still get those paints that have an aroma? You know like apples, oranges, peppermint etc.

Just get him one that smells like a piece of really obnoxious shit!

or...

You could just paint a mural picture of Eric on his bike.

Eric looks dirty and cheap! :2thumbs: .....:lol::lol::lol:

Then when his purpose is served, you can really hook him up with something that will be the talk of the "country", in this case! :2thumbs::2thumbs::2thumbs:

Just an idea! :loony:...

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

 

[PitBull43]

Just put your reflectors and decals back on it :lol:

 

[BBChopper]

This may be a dumb question why are you going to England?
They have shitty weather and Lee!!!:roll::roll:

 

[Shaunmac]

Either that or just get a new really shitty paint job on the bike that says "To Hell with Englands Rules!!!"

it was a joke you dumbass:bang: the stupidest thing i have seen in a long time was the fact you actually thought i was serious. i am not going to get into this cyber battle bullsshh. but damn it was a joke. as were most of the first comments

I'd use a waterbased paint like createx, paint the bike to look rusted, greasy and worn. Just be sure not to clear coat. Get it where it's going and then wash the paint job off. Any stubborn paint should come off with some compound and voila! you are back to your good paint.

Or, better yet, just have Ed paint it too look rusty, falling apart with cracks and tears in the metal. His work is so incredible that customs would probably not want to get to close in fear of getting dirty or cutting themselves on the torn rusted metal!

 

[KROGOTH]

This aint no joke and I am dead serious. I will be moving the bike there permanently, so no I do not want to rent no bike. And this will save me a hell of aot of money if customs come up with a much cheaper price that what it looks like. For guys that have heard what other guys have done can tell you that it saves a person thousands of dollars in evaluation taxes. They want close to 20k in reg taxes man. If I can convince them to give me a lower price why not??

 

[BorgerBigDog]

I would take some of the advice here and try to save as much money as you can,the torn seat is a great idea :2thumbs:

 

[Roaddawg]

Can you get some of the clear plastic paint protector, put it on the tins and then add grease? Wash and remove plastic and all should be good. Also, how about just taking some hose and wires (not actually attached to the system) and have them randomly haning out from under the tank, battery cover, seat etc. Make it look like a disheveled rat's nest. Get some "Doe in Heat" spray and hose the bike down just before shipping also. They probably won't want to get close at that point.

 

[KROGOTH]

Now its just a matter of finding a torn used up seat for a good price. Anyone have one?

 

[KROGOTH]

By the way, is there such a thing as colored wax? I mean aI apply something like a colored wax that will change the color of the bike tanks and fendors, then when I feel like it just remove with wax remover with no harm done to my original paint job?

 

[Baldielox]

Put a Toyota emblem on it....
