So I picked up this '98 Blasty on Thursday for 600 bucks....it's not in terrible shape but definately needs some work. I bought new tires, handlebars, and an FMF Fatty pipe with a TC2 silencer on friday.
Today I stripped it down to the frame to paint everything while I'm waiting on parts.
Chopped the rear fenders as they were in really rough shape along the edges.
Stripped all the jacked up pearl while paint off of all the plastics, took my time sanding and sanding and more sanding,. then whet sanding with 2k grit to make everything extra smooth. Started painting them my favorite color....Flat Black!!! (this is why all the prep work...Flat black shows EVERYTHING!!!) I still have the rear fenders paint tomorrow but got the sanding out of the way at least.
Then I got bored and found some Textured metallic paint in the garage and decided to use it on the UGLY white wheels. Kinda crappy picture, looks really good in person with the copper flake.
That's all for now...more to come tomorrow.
