Think I picked it too soon?

Other than that goofy looking graphic on the clear panel, you did a fantastic job.:bigsmile::wink1: I had my doubts of it actually resembling a gasser, but you nailed it! Do you think you can outrun Top Fool?

Boy did I manage to screw up a simple white paintjob, it was a comedy of errors! First, somehow the white came out looking exactly like House of Kolor Limetime Pearl. OK, maybe it's the lighting in the booth giving it a tint. So I went on with the flake. Got one coat on the first fender and the...

A little tip on the 1/4" blue fine line tape. If you make any tight radius bends or curves with it, paint as soon as possible and burnish it just before you spray. It bends nice but has an extreme tendency to lift when stretched on a curve. It also has the same problem when going over ridges...

Fenders and tank are ready for the base coat:D, the frame still needs some more work:mad:.

I've got the fenders and tank primed today (sorry, I forgot to take pics). Hopefully tomorrow I'll finish up the bodywork on everything and give it the final coat of primer. I'll also be trying a new line of paint for mixing my candies, pearls and flake. From what I've read it will allow my to...

Sounds like you found some good weed! :21:

I love this bike!

That's not my paint room, that's the spray booth where I work part-time. I do have use of it, plus the knowledge of two great body men that I'm lucky to work with. I agree with the weapon thing, I've been stabbed and jabbed many times while working on it. As for the tedious body work and...

We have primer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My buddy had to bust my chops a little. This was his way of telling me I was milking this job with all the time it took me to fill and sand it. :bigsmile::21::rofl::giggle: An udderly fantastic joke! It's so nice to see it one color, even if it is flat...

I have had a hard time using my thumb to plug in the airlines, I hope it's because of cramps and not old age!

After about 16 hours of the most tedious body work I think I've ever done, it’s just about ready for primer. I need to get another spacer, like the ones for the fender mounts, so I can sand the JB Weld I used around the fender mounts, Then it's primer time! I'm sure I'll find a couple more...

I don't know what you are making, but that handlebar frame is a great idea. Why cover the sidecar? Put a hoop or handlebars for the passenger to hold onto and leave it open.

I could sure stand a few weeks of losing 10lbs a week! Another horrible day for filling and sanding, it's so hot and humid that even the slightest amount of hardener in the filler kicks it off before you could get anything done. All the work I need to do is in very tedious places, mostly where...

I never said plain white!

I thought it was an examination table used by sadistic proctologists.

Well it's that time, time for me to complain about sanding! I took it to the shop to work on it. 90+ degrees and LOTS of humidity make for a miserable day of sanding. After another 5 hours, it's starting to look like something. I'm hoping to have it in primer by the end of the week. I just...

Playing with ideas,

Now I'm clearly confused!

"I'm going clear panel with the A/RG logo." Did you ever read words that weren't there? My nervous mind read, "I'm going to clear the panel with the A/RG logo." I guess I need to pay more attention.:headbang::bigsmile:
