We Have Paint!
Weather has been much better lately which means I was finally able got the frame painted. It's a single stage paint from TCP Global's Restoration Shop. It's the first time I've ever sprayed single stage before. Before this it has always been BC/CC jobs. I really like this stuff. The frame itself was a pain to spray though. So many nooks, crannys and just hard to reach spots. I might do a light cut and buff on it later. Once it fully cures I'll take it outside and see how it looks.
I also painted my tank and rear fender/seat area. This was also a single stage. I know for a fact I will cut and buff this one soon. I still need to spray the grey stripes on these pieces. I will lay those out once the frame cures and I can bolt these back on to eyeball the layout. The stripes will be the same grey as the frame.
I still have a few more paint sessions I need to do. Mostly smaller items. Once I get the engine brackets painted I will be able to start reassembly. I'm really looking forward to that step the most. This bike has been apart for far too long.
Thanks again for looking. I hope my next update is during the assembly process.
