    renobruce's S body parts done

    Just wrapped up renobruce's GS1000S model. Thought maybe you'd like to see the results.





























    Thanks again for all the support you guys. I'm currently doing several jobs for members here, and I appreciate it very much.

        Excellent work! I painted cars, bikes, boats, helmets, trucks etc... for 10 years after completing an auto body repair and painting 2 year course. The fact that there is no overspray on the backside, like the factory paint, shows the craftsmanship in your work. The clear looks wet!

          I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

                Absolutely stunning!
                I have a red Cooley Clone bodywork that i wish was half as nice.
                Is the black backside of the fairing the way it came from the factory?

                  Amazing work! Very nice. Painting a bike like that is a LOT of work, and the skill shows though. I'd be afraid to ask how much that would all cost.

                    Nice of you to comment on the backside. A Concours restoration would require the factory overspray, but I've always said screw that. It looks cobby. It takes a little more time to paint, but it looks so much nicer on the bike.

                      The stripes are laid out and painted. The tank, side cover and tail Suzuki graphics are decals, all buried under a ton-o-clear. Jim does great work making them for me. www.graphixbyjim.com.

                      Yours is gonna get the same treatment...
