I painted the dark blue stripe on the lower portion of the tank last night. Came out pretty decently. Tonight, I hope to do the same with the...
My wife (of all people) did some research on enamel paint, and apparently it IS as finicky to use as I am finding out. Any re-coating that is...

Thanks for the ideas. I don't think it's temperature related, as it likely would have happened to ALL of the parts I painted yesterday, not just...
Here's some pics of the carnage: All parts before starting clear coat: [IMG] RIGHT tail fairing (no paint issues): [IMG] LEFT tail fairing...
I only scuffed the belly pan pieces - the paint filled in most of the texturing. They are made of the same softer plastic as the floppy mid inner...
There will be many more photos posted up this weekend, including some parts sporting the lighter blue. I really don't have any interest in...
Yeah - I have a 150' roll of 3M ScotchCal 3/8" light gold metallic striping tape on order. It will go between the swaths of RWB colors on the...
Well, another set back... The light blue paint really is not staying smooth as it dries. Luckily, I have half of a pint of it left - I am going...
Well, it doesn't seem as though there is a tremendous amount of interest in this project... :attention: Oh well. Last night I laid out the...
I've laid down the pearl coat on both of the belly pan pieces, the fender, the tank, the tail light lower trim, and the white stripes down the...
Well, now it's officially red, white, AND blue: [IMG] [IMG] The dark blue I chose is definitely not as dark as the original RC30, but it will...
Well, it's 30 degrees out today, but I got lots of wet color sanding done last night. First paint stripes came out excellently. Front wheel has...
With a "used up" bike, difficult to replace (but non-necessary) parts like instrument bulbs typically fall to the wayside. Start with what's...
The weather for the entire next week appears grim. Our highest daytime temperature is forecasted to be less than 51 degrees. Project placed on...
Yes - my low beams were always on - now and before my HID upgrade. My hi/lo switch now functions as an on/off switch. ;-)
At this rate, I'm never going to finish this project... I can't keep any decent momentum on it. I got a ton of red panels painted yesterday, but...
I have the DDM H4's in my 4G. Like Meatloaf says, the difference was amazing. Because I went with a single "filament" bulb to replace my hi/lo H4...
OK, here's a quick (and disappointing) photo dump. I have all of my colors (including a pint of the "French Blue") I had to have mixed up. I...
I think that's just the piping from the headers to the muffler. It says that the can is sold separately...
