So here's what happens when you get cocky and decide to do graphics before an intercoat of clear and have to wipe it off.

Out of tragedy though, comes triumph..

It's going to clear tomorrow morning!

Oooh, I like!

[SgtM]

Everything is back from clear. Time to colorsand and do the graphics on the fairings, and then back to clear on Friday (hopefully). I don't have enough time to get pictures uploaded and posted tonight, but it looks awesome! Oh, and BTW.. if anyone ever invites you into a booth while spraying clear and you don't have a mask.. turn them down. I lasted maybe 30 seconds before the fumes were too much. That stuff is just plain nasty!

Here's a couple of quick shots after 2 coats of clear. These are gonna get sanded and then back for another 2 coats.

Just a quick update. Everything is colorsanded, graphics added, and I dropped the parts off for 2 more coats of clear this morning. I'll pick them up tomorrow morning, and then it's time for MORE colorsanding, then buffing, then final assembly!

[SgtM]

It's done! Everything is very loosely mocked up on the bike at my friend's house. I'll have pictures this weekend.

Hang tight. I should have pictures today.

Hang tight. I should have pictures today.

Looking forward to it. I'm not sold on the blue stripe yet, but it will probably look better installed.

Here's a few pictures of the bike very loosely put together. I hope you like it.
