On the road!!!! finally after 7 months.

i was talking to a mate and he said the same add a clear with a little of the paint if you want a better finsh. he is a spraypainter/ panelbeater by trade so must be right. then again he said if you do a good enough job then you dont need one, but im not that good.

yep your right mate but most places will add a clear to the last coats for extra depth apparently. It also allows them to cutand buff back a vechicle more frequently as it has the extra layers of clear before hittinh base coat.

very true russ, i did it with the acrylic on the falcon, did work alot better, but i hate acrylic.

i got a good shine to both fairings after it dried, but there is a few bits i didnt like and some i missed since the way i layed them out so ill throw a couple of more coats on tomorrow, wait a week and apply the black to the rest of the fairings. Then stickers and all done.

2 weeks and she is on the road peoples.

Really looking forward to seeing you on it soon mate! That paint job looks pretty good

first time i painted in 2k, plus new gun since my old one decided to spurt the paint all over ther fairings, even after a clean.

well what a great weekend, got my shirts for little man and myself, thanks dave jus and rob for great shirts.

Also got to finsh the spraying of the bikes, both the zx7r and the gpx, mind you the black didnt work out the way i wanted and need to do abit of cut and polish, but i dont care they are both done.






mind you i lost one of the air duct vents that attach to the fairings grrrrr.

Awesome Dave! Lookin' good!!! Congrats on all of your work, a well deserved result!

What a dream, old road run, you on a 7, me on a 6

(Just my opinion, but I don't like the white tail. )

Looking good Dave....... Won't be long now........ Don't blow it and get on too soon.....

You probably already know there are shit loads of stickers on fleebay, but if you like race, this motogp kit has it all and it's only at Baulkham Hills.

neither is original and they stick like shit to a stick

[gpxpunk]

the other side still has the original ones so im matching it.

yeah already have the prices for the factory ones!!! lol yeah not cheap but looks good when they are on.

Yeah tim the white doesnt match without the front stickers, since they have white aswell, was going to spray to whole thing just green, but cant wait anymore so she'll be stock. Plus i dont see many getting around the same as mine so im lucky.
