Firstly select a bike that needs a vibrant colour.
Then make sure that you follow the instructions re safety. In this instance I should be wearing a facemask, but it smelt a bit like Pete's arse and my shepherds pie was providing a nice barrier so I went for it.
Always check your work for pie drippings.
Then hang it in the sunlight for a coupla hours while you keep the flies off it with angry looks
Doesn't matter how bad the colour coats look, because the clearcoat makes you look like a genious if you apply it right...
Technical experence, supplies and whippings supplied by Exben...

It's always best if you paint near an expert who can pick faults with your work before you go too far.
Anywho...if you persist and learn as you go, you can end up with something like this.
Oh yeah.
I fitted up a PCIII inplace of the II and it's already running better on the factory map.
Credit where credit's due-
Thanks to Exben for the room, equipment and patience to repeat himself when I kept asking stupid questions (turn off the fan and shut the door!)
Pete for directions to everything that's hidden in that den.
The hottie in the sushi shop for laughing when I order $50 worth of spider rolls and a single chopstick

Looks good. Great paintjob . Get some decent pin striping & lettering on it (hassle Neo Dutch) and it will be perfect .

That's not a bad idea Wayne. I've got chrome lettering for it, but a few highlights could be the go.quote:Originally posted by chopaweeza

VERY NICE. I like it.....[8D]
I understand the logic behind the plain grey paint not
distracting away from the frame and engineering, but it
really didn't do the bike justice.
Looks better now.....[8D]

That looks really nice mate, did like the undercoat colour though.
Some frosted silver stripes would look tuff. Good work mate
