So as most of you know, and probably don’t believe me when I say Lucy only looks good in pictures. But believe me, rolling 18k miles she’s really showing signs of neglect.
I recently started acquiring some parts to freshen up her looks, but the inner fairings are so faded that I had to try something. Long term I’ll be replacing most of the bodywork. But at almost $200 to replace all the inner fairing parts that I’m ultimately going to sand smooth and paint, I wanted see if I could do something in the mean time.
Check out these results. At $8 a can, you can’t really go wrong. Just make sure you clean and degrease per instructions, and give ample time to dry. After 2 days of sitting, you really have to dig your nail in to scratch the paint.
some before and after.
