Paint Colors

[Claviger]

So put pictures of tank and back fender and side covers can't wait to see those as well and of course on bike

Waiting on rims to come back from powder and I'll do some beauty shots with my good camera.

I learned a ton through this. A lot of overly ambitious ideas didn't work out. I have even more respect for pro painters who can pull off some of what I could not now.

A pro would find 99999999 faults in it, but, it's not a show paint job it's a ridden bike.

Betcha can't see them at speed.

Wow that looks professional to me, can't wait to see the rest of it all put on your bike.
How did you do top of fender? I blew it up looks cool how did you do that looks nice and even?

I did. The paint work is what I would call, good for a 1st timer, moreso when considering it's all rattle cans. The fender, for example, is unfinished, no sanding no polish in that pic, raw clear, so it will be better when wet sanded and polished.

It's far from perfect, but I've seen a lot worse in the wild that people have paid for.

It's a carbon fender so the top is just clear over the carbon. Masked off the center, multiple coats of the lava red on the sides, then unmask and clear the whole thing. Good carbon work just looks amazing under quality urethane clearcoat.

Don't think I've ever seen pink carbon fiber fenders before. I can't wait!

Tank after the first time. I had complications after this clearcoat was done and had to sand it down, primer some, rebase, reclear, refinish. Then had 3 big runs to sand out, then all the polishing... Oh the agony.

As I said mad respect for guys that pay for life with paint work, it's NOT an easy trade, doubly so if you take any amount of pride in your work.

Some of the ambitious failures attached well for lols.
