Thanks for the great comments. Yep did It myself it was a lot of work and a fun project. I'll post pics of the project

Sanded panels

 

[bassdog]

3 coats of Rust-Oleum plastic primer sand between with 220 then 320 then 400 and 600 before the base coat

 

[bassdog]

Spray thin even coats. I did 4 coat 5 min between first three and 10 min before the final coat.

I used the $30 clear system from Color Rite. 3 coats of clear let dry 2 days then and most important wetsand. After initial clearcoat the finish will have the orange peel look. you have to wetsand or colorsand with 1500 to 2000 sandpaper then i buffed with 3m scratch remover(autozone). (do a web search for wet or colorsand for more info also check the pined paint post)

That was it. I worked a littel at a time after work. Again thanks for the comments

Looks good, but I think you need to do the tank kidneys also.

 

[omslaw]

Dooood! That's freakin' schweet!

I like how you masked the design! I never did care for the 'crooked' line that Race Ready does; just doesn't flow with the bike.

+1 on doing the tank kidneys next.

(Me thinks I'll hafta do that mod!)

[GIXERHP]

Very nice !!

See I knew this would look good! I think Ill do this to all those pesky black panels that mess up the whole white, silver theme but a diff. design of course..

Verry nice work!!

 

[arey]

Damn! It looks sweet.

Why didn't you do the side tank pads?

 

[Over_Easy]

So the white showing is actually the primer underneath and the silver is painted over the white primer?

I have been studying to do this since I got the bike...just takes some elbow grease. This mod will be much easier for anyone with a solid colored bike. Mine has the stripes which will be a b*tch to match up because the grey stripe has a fade to it.

Thnaks, I'm going to note this thread...you may get a PM as well.
