Project:Old Yeller on the road

Thanks guys.Hoping to get all the 750 and 1000 bodywork cleared this weekend.Weather looks to be cooperating

Here in Comox, we have a forecast of sun and a temp of 25?C for at least a week. Hopefully it's not much different for you.

So went to get some new hardener for clear I had left over from the yellow paint.Where I bought it had sent all the Nason stock to they're downtown store.Just great have to go there to get it.So we get down there and after a bit of a search the guy finds some.I need some reducer to so he give me a small can's worth.I ask "How much?".He says "Take it,we are dropping the stuff anyway and I want rid of it"."Thank you VERY much" we said to him.I get to use up stuff I've had hanging around and helped him to,a rewarding trip

Thanks guys.Hoping to get all the 750 and 1000 bodywork cleared this weekend.Weather looks to be cooperating

+1 to boingk Greg, good stuff!

That looks SHARP!

Very nice touches there, should really turn some heads on the road.

Cheers - boingk

Colour sanded and pinstriped,just need to clearThe gold stripes really set it off IMHO.

I really had to repaint the MC.Regular Plasti-Coat wasn't cutting it.Got a rebiuld kit off eBay for a good price so I put that in to.

Added a brake pressure switch while I was at it.Added longer leads as the EF/S have really long front brake switch leads.Was painted with VHT caliper paint,should be better!

All bleed and feeling REAL hard!Should be right nice when I get her back on the road.Cut the banjo cover to make it fit over the new switch,it looks better now.


Converted the rear to a pressure switch as well.Got those off eBay as well.Looks much neater to IMHO.

Yep, can see the difference in your second pic there Greg, nice! Clear coat should be quite awesome on top of that

Thanks GK,I'm happy I went this way to.One thing I've noted about the red is in cloud or shade it seems quite dark,in the sun it just pops.

This is really turning out amazing.....I really like the combination your doing....

.

Thanks Pete,I'm really liking how it's going to.

Especially after I got a few more coats of red on it as a bit splotchy before.Now it looks REAL nice

I really like that scheme Greg! I agree it should look awesome with some clear on it...

Well she ain't Yeller anymore. Danm I liked that name But I really think this will look SO nice when it's cleared.Yeah I ran out of red,knew I should have got another can

First colour on

Got the pieces all primered,sanded and primer sealedThe primer sealer ran out on the last peice. Hoping the weekend will be a good one for painting
