After 14 hrs sanding I got it ready to take a tack cloth to it and put in the final coat of primer. I am very happy with the results so far! If I can get in full coverage of primer not have to spot shoot or sand any big runs out! I can be putting color on after sanding with 400 grit tomorrow!

Got the frame and forks sanded with 400 grit just to make scratchs for the base to stick. Hit with tack cloth and it is about to get real here with color!

I just returned home from a 2 week trip in New Mexico, have a few good pix, can't wait to share my off-highway traveling. Got to put 1400 miles on the scoot.

That is one outstanding piece of work. The basic frame sculpting really starts to show now that you've got color on it. I hate to think of how many hours you've got into this project but like most of us know it's all a labor of love for the craft and you're certainly a craftsman.

Thanks Friends!

Only because of having friends like you guys!

I am pretty damn happy to say the least! Especially never shooting base clear or flake? And to do it on tubes not a flat surface?

Some fork pictures out in the sun? Well a overcast rainy day here? Can not take the frame down by my self will have to find some help for that.

SELF INTRODUCTION: I was on the last board as bonustoolkit. I have changed that to my given name.
I started a project build there " File and Fit." I paln to continue that when I go back home in Dec. 2011. I first joined the board when Gary W had it in the year 2005. That was the time I really gained an interest in building chops. I have a long way to go, compared to some here.

No going to quit these parts could keep clear coating but they do not need it.

Shoot 1 is the tins:

Tank, battery box, head light, tail light, fender
These parts will get the flake treatment and also a silver lace with white for the name on the tank and some sort of striping.
The prep for this shoot will be just as labor intensive if not more because the tins make the bike. These got to be glass with many many many coats of clear and taping.

Shoot 2 is all the small parts like mounts spacers handlebars shifter handle brake rods linkage stuff like that all blue flake but so small and so many angles need room to get around them.
This shoot will be just make the parts in color.

There is not enough room in there to do it all at once so everything needed seperated in how and what level it needed done.

The paint guy here in Dayton who sells to all the big paint guys in town said he had never seen a frame or tubes flaked only tins. Warned me then said is was cool when I would not waver. You know I went in they kind of overlooked me and was apprehisive at first until I showed him pictures of my builds and bikes and I said I liked doing the things not many will not do. It will be what it is whatever it ends up being.

After the pictures they were throwing free supplies in cups, sticks, that kind of stuff going out their way hooking me up!
