It's too late now...

[KRASH]

Anyone who has used this paint before???
What sort of conditions grew the best crystals?

We have tried Cool Dry room
Warm Dry roomand just outside
it is a bit humid up here at the moment, this seems to only grow small crystals?

Any hints???

[EXBEN]

KRASH, for the best results I spray a basecoat then a couple of coats of clear, let it dry then scuff it with red scotchbrite in circular patterns,changing it regularly so it stays fresh & sharp. The finish will be rougher than you'd normally prep, but this promotes better crystals by holding more liquid on the surface & gives it nice tracks to follow. Then dry it in a warm (25deg-ish) still room or with gentle airflow.

[KRASH]

Cool thanks heaps Ben We will try that...[8D]

[Stocky]

Got any updates mate ?

Paint photos maybe ?

[KRASH]

Getting there...
Gauges and rotors turned up yesterday...( thanks EXBEN...)
Can't wait to hook in again this week end[8D]

[KRASH]

Cheers Ben for the Frame pivot bobbin thingys... They worked a treat,after bolting them in the swingarm went straight in...no spacers or anything, all the suspension was spot on in line. Couldn't have asked for it to work out better.

Front wheel is all done with CBR calipers on and new discs (Thanks again Ben)

Both ends brakes are bled and ready to go.
Dash is mounted ready to be wired, Headlight is finished bar the wiring,back wheel is in just need to make caliper bracket (the one that stops the caliper rotating)8mm thicker which is the amount I've moved the rim over towards the sprocket side, waiting for the chains to lob from the U.S now and the paint o be finished and I'm looking good.
