Hello and welcome

Must say I do like the look of the bikes in satin black.. had considered doing mine the same. Even when i was half way through my paint job recently I though of giving her a coat of black, when I first prepped for colour.. put the first coats of base on and a few panels reacted in a strange way... a...

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm I love chocolate orange :P Been stuck offline for couple days thanks to pc playing up and being to busy to fix it. Bike coming along.. just been doing small jobs around it past few days. Given her a oil and filter change.. sorted out a water leak I had after moving one of the hose clip...

This sounds interesting, wouldn't mind popping up for the day if funds allow but I won't know how i'm fixed for a couple weeks yet.

Cleaned paint shop up, cleaned myself up and cleaned parts up.. as I was degreasing the panels I noticed a strange cracking effect over the 2 side fairings and the mudguard, ...

Will spray out a test card first while painting the bike to get an idea of what the finish will turn out like. Just a tease.... 2 basecoats, one for colour one for effect....

:P it dont look bad especially outside in the light.. from this side anyway. I ran out of the dark grey I used as a guide coat so the other side fairing has a splash of blue across it lol Finally... picked colour. Change of mind again... Orange with white wheels, bought colour so no going back. Fell...
