Here is a peek at the current paint job I'm doing. My version of BMW's Red Smoke... ;D This one turned out to be a lot more work with "modern" paints than they did in the "old days" with lacquer... :P
-
Looks real good, Justin. Is that for a paying customer? I think they will be happy.
How did you do the pin stripe?
-
Suh-weeeet, Justin!!! ;)
-
You're a top notch painter, Justin! [smiley=tekst-toppie.gif]
-
Yeah, paying customer. :) The stripe is done by spraying the stripe color, laying the stripe out with tape, spraying top-coats, and removing the tape before clear coating...
-
how much did that job cost?
-
Hmm, that does look very nice, Justin !
though it is probably considered heresy, I've though about the possibility of doing something
like that, but with the Henna Red-to-black for the little R65LS.. I don't have the skills or
equipment to paint it myself though.
::)
-
Price? It all depends on the condition of what I start with but the painting portion of this type of job would probably be about 50% higher than a regular single color job.

Whoa! Justin, that looks good enough to lick! [smiley=kiss.gif] You are a real artist in the booth. [smiley=clap.gif]
I'm thinking I'll try the "good old days" lacquer paint when I'm done sanding and prepping my RS fairing. 'Cause jeeeez louise, there's no way I can make the new stuff look half as good as yours.
Well hit!

That looks good, Justin. While waiting for my Triumph paint to flash in between coats I was playing with my gun and got it to fog like that, tho I don't know how you did the masking and set up for that job.
Do you use a fresh air respirator? I want one.
-
Yes.
