Here's a couple pics of the color before the clear.
Sort of reminded me of 24K gold dust. Sure glad the clear coat changed that. Cheers |

Excellent paint job. I am quite impressed. How did you
manage to paint her up for $400 if you don't mind my asking? |

Thanks. The costs I am referring to are the cost for the
paint and the clear coat material, including tack off cloth, painting coveralls, mixing/measuring containers. I had a $90 canadian tire spray gun and my friend had the hi volume (30 gal) compressor and garage (lucky for me  ). Otherwise I spent a few days sanding and filling
(You can never do enough sanding and filling!!) and I should have done much more but was overly excited to try it - and considering the hasty job I am very pleased with my first shoot. Otherwise the costs don't include my time (sanding and painted in one day) and cost of sand paper 
Cheers oh ya - and a bunch of tape (cheap) and paper was free. |

Just wanted to say 'see ya around.' I hope you all find safe roads to the future and find a way to get along. Who knows I may even peek in at a meet sometime to see what's what. Unless I am now completely banned for selling my car. Cheers! ------------- Kevin 08GSXR1000 |
