I just reread this - the results were, most definitely, professional quality :clapping:
It really does look like something that we all could do... after all winter is coming and, for most of us, that means a break in the riding season.

Hmmm.....what color to do???

I could think of a few... Black or Gray

Brian - I'm actually thinking about doing the frame in silver and the plastic in metallic yellow......I wanna be seen by the cagers....

..Really nice work, i'm just waiting on a 82 rolling frame...i have enough parts and most of the farings to build a complete bike...but i'm thinking outside the box this time....something different, since the bike is not complete or orginial. I need to get busy..i have 3 motors and 3 carbs to build also... :head bang: ..never enough time for what i want to do.

Nice job. I just did this on my timing belt covers with 5 coats of clear to hopefully minimize rock damage. Lots of clearcoat is good because you can sand it down and really get it glassy. Though I haven't sanded anything yet and it all looks amazing so far.

Eventually I think I will get them powder coated though, because it is the strongest. Just don't want to spend the $ on it right now.

Sometimes powder coating can be a little brittle and really chip off with rock strikes etc, paint can be more forgiving and easily touched up.

I am not so sure that is true, powdercoating is really tough. I can tell the difference between the wear on the painted vs the powdercoated parts on the bike.

Old powder coating is really tough like that on the Honda frames :good: I believe like most things ( non asbestos brake pads) that the new processes/ products are not as good as the original ones. You may have better systems in the States but I have seen this chipping occurring on most jobs here in Oz with stone damage

Many of the finishes are not as good as the old because of tough epa requirements.
Even a painter I know can no longer guarantee the paint.

It seems that a lot of these new environmental friendly products are turning out to be not so friendly and in most cases don't work as well
