It's done... finally!

[Narcissus]

Long day, today. I sprayed the first pearl, sanded down the hump which I painted the wrong color, re-sprayed black, switched masking, sprayed second pearl, removed masking, corrected a few spots, sprayed urethane clear... Roughly nine hours in all.

I'll let it cure and then wet sand everything smooth to fix a few runs and the usual orange peel.

This will be completely smooth when I'm done with it.... Sorry, I'm not a robot in a factory.

Looks like nice work; probably need to see it in the sunlight!

 

[Copperone]

Sounds like a labor of love. Nice work... Its great that you do your own stuff.

It'll look sweet!

Heavy orange peel, but you'll take care of that I'm sure, at least you didn't have to worry about fisheyes

 

[dadofthree]

post up completed pics installed on the monster

 

[Spike]

Very nice! I can't wait to see the finished product!

 

[nitrousjunkie]

Sunlight pics please

 

[adamnflorida]

looking good...x2 on the sunlight pics...

 

[Narcissus]

Yeah, gimme a week or so to fully wet sand and polish it all. They're still curing.

I guess now would be a good time to re-wire for the fuel pump, and touch up the paint on the frame, and polish up the lip on the front wheel... that should be enough, I just want to RIDE now.

 

[nitrousjunkie]

Are there some "ghost" graphics there?

 

[dadofthree]

Always, just think how the Busa feels

 

[bacharles]

Why is there a "smiley face" in the paint?

Must be one of the slower Busas...

 

[bacharles]

And I do know that it's just a reflection and I can't believe one of these wiseguys over here hadn't jumped on that one yet...

 

[bacharles]

BTW Narc, that is some sweet work there... but then... what else can we expect from you. Can't wait to see the finished product.

 

[BA BUSA]

When are gonna get to see the finished product

Do have a bike to put those on

Cool! What color is that, and are you going to clear coat?
