Painted the tail section tonight, Damn Tahitian blue is 2 coats metallic blue, 2 coats candy, and 3 coats clear... a couple runs in the clear to wetsand and buff, but overall came out good, Home made paint booth.

Very nice, Sharkey! I had a professional that couldn't get the Tahitian Blue right...now I have an upper fairing that doesn't match the rest of my bike. I notice that is asplit seat, but the Tahitian Blue was from the '06 ('naner). Did you do the conversion?

I can see why, hard color to paint... Too much base and it turns out too dark, too much candy and it looks too purple and not enough metallic shows through..
I am happy with the results, I have painted about 15 cars in my days, but I don't consider myself a professional by any stretch. I am good with the sand paper and compound though to fix mistakes.

I had a guy from T.O. paint mine. He was a real stonner, but he came highly recomended. He did a great job, but he took forever. He refused to even consider colour right, and mixed the paint himself. Excentric and weird dude, but the results speak for themselves.
