    This is what it looks like before the candy colors go on. It is also the first of 3 layers. after th white goes on it's followed by Aztec Gold, a mix of Aztec Gold and Wild Berry (to make orange), then a final pass of just Wild Berry. The next pass is basically the same, but the last pass has...

    Four hours later, I have this. About an hour before I painted the basecoat, I fixed two areas that had some high spots from the welds. The filler bled through and stained the paint. While I was doing the tank and fenders, I did my best to blend in the pearl, flake, and candy. Hopefully it...

    Quite a lot will be covered, but not as much as you would think judging by these pics. Thank you, it was my first attempt at making a tank.

    I decided to go old school with the masking. I normally design this stuff on the computer to cut masks, this time I broke out the tape and had at it. As I want to build a trailer for my paint box and supplies to use at car shows for pinstriping, I decided to simplify the graphics and depend on...

    1. Wet sanding is pretty simple, use sandpaper designed to be use with water. If it's a flat surface such as your chainguard, wrap the paper around a flat block of some sort. As your chainguard has a raised panel only sand the flat surfaces to start. For something this size, I would cut a 3"...

    The grainy appearance is usually a dry spray where it didn't have a chance to flow out. For a clear you should really only apply the first coat lightly. This gives the paint a little tack, and gives the second full coat something to stick too. Four light coats could equal just one good wet...

    I was looking forward to seeing your build completed, but I'd much rather know that you and your family are safe. Best wishes for you from the east coast.

    What clear did you use, how many coats did you apply? Are the rough spots just a few specks of dust that fell into the paint?

    Sidetrack Space: Build Off Highlights and Chat.

    I didn't think I would have time to get my body work done to my satisfaction, which is one of the reasons I was going to go white. Last night I spent hours looking at the frame to figure out how I could add some graphics to dress it up. I came up with nada. Luckily after a little more filling...

    The jaw looks better to me, a bit more aggressive looking. The ear canal looks more proportionate to the skull too. I always thought your avatar was a neat design, but never noticed the eyes were a bicycle. I love subtle things like that, that are so obvious when you finally realize what they are.

    I think the bottom chainguard design looks cleaner and sleeker. I also like the older skull design better.
