pretty much finished laying down the colour today - I only have to do the tank once it comes back from the chromers.
had solvent pop in the primer, didnt see it because it was so fine.
anyway showed straight through so I had to sand back. I will respray quickly tomorrow.
the photos are a bit blurry but you can see pretty darn good gloss/not a whole lot of peel - with acrylic laquer. i'm getting better at laying it on, I was spraying too far away.
clear should really make these parts look good.
I'll get some better photos with my camera, gee iphones suck.

Ok heres the process so far of metal finishing the tank now I have to weld the bottom flaps on where the tank had rusted through, and braze on the fuel tap bungs and the crossover and give the rest of the tank a light sand to remove the surface rust, then I can drop it off at the chromers for finishing, then I have to body fill some areas where paint will be, prime, paint, pinstripe and last of all seal the inside of the tank with POR15. here's a pic of where the chrome will be and the pinstripe (just painted on) I am going to try both vinyl pinstripe and if you can see the join/seam then I will paint it on in 2pack white. I've got to make a template with baking paper so both tank sides are perfectly the same size. |
