must be either mad or super crazy for bikes
my buddy who had the soft tail fatboy, ktm NOW ........ANOTHER MONSTER ON THE HIGhWAY
The Diavel project was born when Ducati designers applied their wish-list of bike “basic instincts” to a blank canvas. With a “what if?” approach to creating a dream bike, they sketched inspiring shapes which became a lower and longer motorcycle. “The challenge of building a muscular silhouette over a pure-bred competition motor had to be met with determination and a delicate touch, and the result is a frontal area that looks like a power athlete on the starting blocks,” explains the team at Ducati Design responsible for the project.

Weighing just 463 lb (210kg), featuring a powerful sophisticated design and offering a massive 162 hp that is managed to perfection via the three Riding Modes, the Diavel is an utterly spellbinding bike that only Ducati could have come up with.

Captivating, muscular and innovative beauty. Seductively agile and manoeuvrable. An irresistible 162 hp adrenaline rush that's always under your control with three riding modes and the Ducati Riding Safety Pack (ABS + Ducati Traction Control). You'll steal every look even when you disappear in an instant. This is the magic of Diavel.

ta da....paint transference ...it require an protective layer of coat
https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-lZgB0jP2uiE/UID6snvW3JI/AAAAAAAAIyM/2rx2X2sqc80/s512/IMG_0311.JPG
The coating will bond permanently to the surface of the paint and form a harder more scratch resistant barrier which is also more hydrophobic and has better water beading properties than the original paint. It is not indestructible and will not resist all scratches but is harder than the factory paint and is less likely to be scratched and swirled. As for water marks, they will occur depending on the environmental conditions of where the car is driven and parked whether it is coated or not. However, due to the extreme hydrophobic nature of the coating, the water beading is much stronger and could lead to watermarks rain water is left to dry in the hot sun but if there is a need to remove watermarks, only the coating will be affected and not the original paint. Think of it as protective insurance for your paint...
A big part of the work is to ensure that the surface of the paint is properly corrected before the coating is applied. If there is no difference between the before and after, that would likely mean that the surface was not properly prepared before the coating is applied. We would definitely correct the paint as much as possible before coating it and it is best if this is carried out on a new car as there is less damage to the paint and less time is required to carry out the paint correction.
