Streaks are surfactants in the paint coming out. A wash or couple of rains would clear it. Normally the wood would soak that up, but the surfaces we are putting it on are non porous.

You sound like you know paint, JoshHefnerX.Streaks are surfactants in the paint coming out. A wash or couple of rains would clear it. Normally the wood would soak that up, but the surfaces we are putting it on are non porous.
A first post! Greetings, accordingly. This one's from Virginia.Hey all! This may seem like a dumb question but I came across this thread while doing research for my paint job.
I plan on repainting my Ural Gear-Up sidecar motorcycle this summer while doing other maintenance work to it and it seems like this Behr method is the way to go. My question is to the people that went back with a camo design. Did you mask off and paint each color in their own areas or did you do a base coat of green first, then layer the camo pattern on top? Does the Behr have any issues with layering different colors on it? Sounds really dumb but I've not had a lot of multi-color/design painting experience.
(also, amazing work on all these paint jobs, hope mine comes out looking that good)

We all got together and talked. We're excited you're here and that you came with an excellent question.
But we tabled a motion.
And it passed unanimously:
No response.
Until you post a pic of the Ural.
For the record, there were a few who walked in late....From what I've seen most do the green base then go back over with black and brown.
HA! Ask and you shall receive. From the factory, the Gear-Ups come with a camo paint scheme but the factory paint jobs aren't the best, durability wise. Also the previous owner didn't keep up with washing off the road salt and its got several spots of rustA first post! Greetings, accordingly. This one's from Virginia.

Its a rock/knee guard. Helps a little to keep your knees from getting hit by debris and branches when going off road. There's one on each side.Oh, Man; that's sweet! Thanks for the pic.
What's that "shroud" over the port-side piston; is that a rifle-mount, or maybe some kind of knee-guard?
PS I think maybe you might have just a l-i-t-t-l-e more tire pump than you need for your bike there. You know; just sayin'....
