For a first-time-ever project I’m quite pleased with the results. When I apply wax in another few weeks, after the paint is fully cured, I expect it will look pretty good – especially compared to the rest of the 37-year-old motorcycle which exhibits more than a few battle scars.
Now I have only a few more minor jobs to upgrade some parts on the Kawasaki from the donor bikes and it will be ready for another year of riding once the snow and ice is gone.
It was a fun project and when I tackle the next tank (still have two to do) perhaps I’ll try something a little more ambitious than simply a single colour, rattle-can paint job. But the blue C65 in the background will now be the focus for the next little while, so that will have to wait.
That looks really good. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteThanks Scott. I'm very pleased with the outcome.
DeleteLooks great! Good job!
ReplyDeleteThanks Gary.
DeleteVery nice color choice. Is that the only painted bodywork on the bike.
ReplyDeleteThanks Richard. There are also 2 small side covers that I painted.
DeleteYes! It's green. Well done, David.
ReplyDeleteI thought you might appreciate that, especially after your comment on a previous post.
DeleteVery nice. Great choice in color.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I spent a long time staring at paint cans before I chose this one.
DeleteSeriously nice David, both in finish and colour. I'm biased though as that's the colour I chose a lifetime ago for painting my Tricati. Unfortunately, emigration to NZ got in the way of completion.
ReplyDeleteNicely done sir!
Thanks Geoff.
