Hey everyone i thought i would post some progress pics of my bike. First off i am paiting it because i droped it over the summer, so i decided why not try the paint thing lol. I am also in the process of changing clutches and the chain, ect. Here are some pics of it before andin its current state.



love this shot



the damage





its currant state



fairings almost ready for paint



tank







thats all the pics i have now, i also got the left side faring and front fender done last night, but forgor the camara lol i will post pics when its done

 

hey looks good man, nice job

got a question though, was the tank hard to take off?

 

no not at all. just take the seat off and take the 2 bolts holding it, then turn off the fuel, and take the fuel line off and presto its off. i thought it would be a pain, but it realy wasnt. the hardst part was getting all the fuel out lol

 

What kind of paint did you use, looks good.

 

Rattle can, yes?

If you keep it a matte finish, a rattle can paint job can turn out quite impressive.

 

Werd. Dont you hate it when you have a great finished paint job and you **** it up by trying to clear over it?....

 

no it was not rattle can, thats not the finish of the tank. that last pic was the 2nd coat. this is my first paint job so i kinda went cheap, because if i ****ed it up or something then i am not out much. i got the paint from advanced, the color is dupila color ( sorry the spelling) deep blue it was $20 for a quart for the paint, prime, and clear, so far i have $60 in it and got half of it done. i plan on finishing it up this weekend, and just temporaly putting the pieces on the bike and taking more pics

 

Looks really good so far dude!! That should look really nice when it's all done

Keep us updated with the progress

 

Looking good so far!
Keep us updated, can't wait to see what the whole paint job looks like.
Are you keeping it solid color or are U putting graphics,decals, etc on it?

 

Iwill keep updating, like i said i am hoping it will be done this weekend and i can just post it all. As of right now i am just planning on putting the same decals that was on it back, but in silver. Then i was thinking i have a buddy that does airbrushing, so i might have him airbrush them. I am not real sure on what i am doing yet.
