back in action! step 1, clean shop and get bike back on the table... took me and 3 of my buddies 6 hours to get it cleaned, vacumed and all organized... the cafe is back where she needs to be to be finished. all my powder equipt is now in the other shop.
step 2 paint: the white appliance paint did not hold up at ALL!!! it is strong yes! but anything that i took the buffer to and shined up really nice, as it sat in the back of the shop it all yellowed and looked like crap. so i was planning on shooting it the real way and puling out the guns and doing it right. instead as a wedding present my buddy is going to knock it out for me while I am on my Honeymoon.. DOPE as hell! so i boxed up the tank, side covers, seat, and a 3/4 helmet... put that and 1 gallon of glacier white, clear, flex, and hardener in the box as well... he is going to add a pearl to the white before he shoots it, cause he has some left over from a 57 chevy he just shot... he does awesome work! so i could not pass up when he offered... just weird having someone else do my paint... that is always what i do! but he is a perfectionist like me so i am not worried...
she is all set ready to be finished after the wedding and honeymoon! next post will include pictures of the tins all painted and looking clean! seat will be finished... and i pray the wiring will be started if not finished! see you when i get back!!!
sorry it is so dark... it was 3 am with a camera phone
