Back to black

[Old Scrote]

Be honest, what do you reckon, all done with Halfrauds spray cans
before

after

Got to wait a week or two before I can cut and polish it, I think I should get a newer screen too !!

Looks tidy,do you laquer it after ? or already done

About 3-4 coats, just got to give it a good rub when it's hard :-: to get the small bits of dust out

Looks very nice mate. :bow:

What decals did you use? I ordered some of ebay and they came off again after a few weeks.

 

[Old Scrote]

used these
quality's pretty good. I ended up ordering another set because of my ineptitude. Paint/lacquer intolerance

. Had to rub EVERYTHING back to blue and start over. A bit scared to have a w4nk, muscles are too big !! I've got quite a few spare decals if anyone wants any c7u8

Will you be posting a step by step guide for future reference?

Would come in handy for us budding artists thinking of a DIY respray :-0)

Best bit of advice....Buy all your paint/lacquer from the same place. It saves your fingers bleeding from all the rubbing down. Painted the tank three times.........sh1tehppns

Looks like ya did a great job there, how many cans do ya reckon to have used?

How's it look close up? Are ya totally happy or are there some things you would watch out for next time (other than sourcing the paint from the same place).

 

[Old Scrote]

Probably got through about 10 cans, including lacquer. To be honest, I'm really pleased with it, even close up. I'd guess I've spent about ?100 or so all in. I was quoted ?500 plus decals at a local sprayer, I know that it would have been better than mine, but not 5 times better !!

Looks ace to me M8, well done. :bow:

 

[Oldbull]

As Jono says.. well done :bow:

I would have run out of patience on the first can :-0)

Looks a lot better in black, what type of paint is it as when i painted a bike years ago with rattel cans as soon as i got petrol on it it melted the paint, asking this as i want to paint my lads bike.:yo:

 

[brian willetts]

Nice to see a bike that some one has done themselves, any one with cash can through it at a bike (ment to say that before):bow:

Cheers Brian. It's ordinary car paint, but Halfords sell a petrol resistant lacquer to put on the fuel tank. I haven't used it myself, I've used the ordinary stuff, so it looks like I'll have to be a bit careful filling up !

Took it out for the first time last night. Wish I'd bought a new tank protector, got a lovely zip mark down by the seat c7u8. Oh well, at least it looks a bit lived in now !!

Went out with a mate on his GPZ 900 R, tell you what, for a 20 year old bike on skinny tyres, it don't half shift !!
