Still 4 sale.

I guess it's off to NAPA for a quart of dupont clearcoat. Either way it was going to get sprayed. At least I saved a bit on the base colour...

I have the fibreglass and resin. All that needs to be done is cut out the area where the header hits (oversize) and drape the glass from the inside so it makes a slight 'belly'. Lay down a layer of reinforcing strips of glass in a cross grid for a bit of rigidity and paint the bottom area, in...

Not positive if that would do the job. Since it only needs 40psi, as long as you give the compressor time to build up when it kicks on, may do the job. Possibly another member has some insight on this. Yeah, the tremclad and lacquer didn't react in any negative way. I was expecting something...

Hmmm. Reviews on the product say that a clear coat should be used to protect the paint. Maybe I just may do that. $25.00 and maybe it'll clearcoat the Tremclad. I will test out on a piece of old bodywork next week and let ya know. So far it seems the two paints react well together even though...

I have a 13 gallon electric compressor and a new CT top feeding low pressure spray gun. That's it. Poured the paint straight from the can into the gun through a strainer cloth and set the compressor at 40PSI. Even strokes and voila. I also used rattle can primer after a 600 grit sanding to...

^^^Those pics were after 3 coats which took about 30 minutes in total. That paint can recoat after 5-10 minutes and on.

I finally got around to painting the tank. Didn't want to risk the Tremclad on the tank near the gas so I tried the CT Ready To Spray Lacquer. Not bad at all. Pre mixed so no thinning or hardener needed. Pour and spray. My old gun didn't want to work after 15 plus years so I grabbed another top...

That looks really great! Did you use contact cement for the seat foam? Any problem with it reacting with the paint? I had the paint under the edges of the seat pad, go mushy. But the rest was ok, since the majority, I didn't paint.

Still for sale. Weather's getting better...

It didn't take very much time because I realized what I had to work with. Took the longest to get the stickers off. They were the full manufacturer body trim stickers like on street plastics. And they were clear coated to boot.:( Now I have to alter the lowers which I didn't check before. They...

I just stripped all the stickers and sanded down the paint with 120 grit. I didn't necessarily remove all paint though. Then 200 grit to smoothed scratches out. Tremclad filled in minor sanding scratches that normal spraying would not. I also had to do a lot of fiberglass reinforcement where the...

Here's a vid of Jennings in February this year. Me on an R6 in Expert for this day, I think. (And I'm quite proud to say I'm running a completely stock bike except for the exhaust and minus a tooth in the front sprocket and keeping up with these guys. It is a track bike. Just haven't dropped the...

Kudos. If possible, could you ask your friend what proportion he is using? If that works, it'll solve the problem for everyone here. And what would I/we actually look for (retail brand name) at the store. (NAPA)

Yeah, but I will use 2 stage for that or send it out to get painted. The tank takes the most abuse and the Tremclad may not stand up.

Something like this is what I was aiming for. Sorta

Done except for numbers and the stickers to make me go fast. Still need to paint the gas tank and it's plastic panels in front and on the side. In time.....

:lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao: There are 2 in the garage from Jennings....
