done a few things since, some bikes, small projects, finished the little house
heres a bike i have just done, will probably 2 tone the tank to match before putting decals on
green with gold pearl, gold pinstripes and decals, and metallic pearl with yes ticked on how much pearl i wanted (its actually some leftover paint from a nissan dualis i painted a while ago, its horrible paint, frys up if you even look at it funny)
bike had a rough life, so i put about 80 hours into repairing, prepping, and painting till clear coat. over about 2 months when the baby is sleeping. which sounds a lot, but maybe 20 was just plastic welding and making new tabs, had to get a new tank as it was rusted out on every surface, i have never seen that before. many layers of primer filler, a couple coats of white 2k to seal it and give a nice base for the green to pop on. 3 coats of green, 3 coats of clear, resand and tape up, 3 coats black, pinstripes and decals on, 4 coats of clear.
its ok for a shed paint job i reckon (yes thats a second purple one in the background, its a great bike for a 250, i want to sell both of them and get a bigger brother to it)
