1 run in the paint, thats what i get for painting in 56f weather

you'll probably notice how it looks flat in some spots, painting in the cold will do that but nothing a little clear can't fix.

Until I can find another jug, which in my town is damn near impossible.
This project has come to a grinding halt.

unless someone has one for fairly cheap and under a .40 bore.
 
looks good and engine enamel is the best rattle can out there imo. Trust me i have tried so many different brands but engine enamel is the best hands down.
 
Bottom end is off for cleaning.

I'm also thinking about stripping down to bare frame for paint.
which at this point is just a matter of unbolting the swing arm and a-arms.

The wiring is now off the frame to strip the unneeded crap off of it.
like the oil and neutral indicator lights.

Also just found out that the durablue axle on my blaster is actually a 2+2 for a banshee.

so that means I can go from +4 to +6 right?
 
Couldn't sleep update.

Started cleaning the frame in preparation for paint.
Yes my bike looks tweaked it's because the swingarm is half way unbolted.

Halfway finished with stripping the paint.

I need more aircraft stripper.
 
You can save a heap of paint stripper if you cover it with alum cooking foil right after you put it on.

The foil stops the solvents escaping and the stripper bites hard into the old paint.

You dont need to use as much if you cover it
 
I actually just bought a can of the brush on stuff and I'm going to try this thanks.
 
I didn't have internet for the past 2 days so I actually got a lot of work done.

pics later today.

And I got the cylinder today, Thanks Sonia!

It's really humid out right now so there's dew on the frame but you get the idea.
mmm red steering tube.

The other a-arm is still hanging up to dry.
 
I got to looking at my swingarm extension, it's the same 4 1/2 JTM Products one that 79Bronco has.

definitely lucked out with that one.
