Its been a busy weekend for me and the tank, finally got all the existing paint feathered out and was able to start laying down some primer and paint, here are some updated pics i still need to lay a couple more coats of paint on then onto the clearcoats.

I installed some of these in my truck and they were to blue for my liking, but still a great bulb if thats what your looking for Arctic White Headlight Bulbs

Here's my addition.

Congrats Fred! :thumbup:

Extremely uncalled for, id be doing some head hunting if that happened to me, glad to here your alright tho!

Nice choice of bike, i like the stance of it.

I've painted the majority of your list on mine and have had great success in doing so, so far everything ive painted is holding to expectations, i ordered all the factory paint from Motorcycle Paint :: Touch Up, Aerosol & Refinish Paint - ColorRite when you go to do it just scuff everything up...

Thanks i appreciate the comment, i left the tank on the bike for the prep work so it was stable and would'nt move around on me while i was doing the filling and sanding, i will remove it for all of the paint coats. (2-stroke) Yes wet sanding involves using water to keep the sand paper clean...

Finally got some primer laid on it tonight and im very satisfied so far with the outcome, as much as i want go out and wet sand it im going to hold off until tomorrow to do so, patience is not a part of my gene make up but i'll contain myself for one more night.

Thanks guys, i appreciate the comments, if anybody has any questions on how to do this feel free to ask. I'll have some updated pics here later after work.

No problem, there is a lot of work to be done to get it done right, thats why body shops charge so much, its labor intensive, the prep work is were they get you, because if the foundation isnt right the rest of it just doesnt matter, every lil blemish you see has to be taken care of or else it...

That it is, beings that i'll be color matching/feathering the new paint into the old paint i had to take it down to metal so that i can layer the coats to match original, i'll be doing alot of wet sanding to get it all to match up well, then i'll cut it all with a heavy rubbing compound and...

Sweet set up, what are you into it for total? if you dont mind me asking.

Thats a sweet lil plane, how much was the kit? i could stand to have another in the hanger.

So i started the process of filling the dent in the tank today, i began by sanding the dented area and the surrounding area with 80 grit to give the filler a good surface to adhere to, i mixed up a small batch of filler at first so to just fill the dent, once it had sat for 20 mins i started...

Im gonna finish feathering the existing paint here in the AM and then by noon i hope to be laying down some filler, i'll take pics of the process to show the progress.

How small you talking about? depending on the size and depth, its realitively easy to do, follow this thread and by the time im done, you should be able to do the fix yourself.

DAMN! thats one insect i can live without!:disapprove:

OMG! im still laughing thanks!

Thanks! im planning on taking pics through the whole process to show the step by step beginning to end, this dent has been a constant reminder to me and its time to go! so far ive feathered the paint back with some 220 grit and smoothed that out with some 320 grit now ive gotta spread the filler...
