    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

  • In order to help others find info on a particular bike, be sure to put the year, make or model of bike that you are asking a question about, in the Topic Title. This will allow people to pass by posts they have no interest in.

So all the other body work is painted and this is the tank Im doing now. First shot of clear over the decals. Another wet sand and 1 more clear and it will be done.




 
VERY NICE! I wish I had painting skills like that! I'm gonna be learning to paint on my rebuild soon enough. Any tips on what paint, the steps, etc.??? Inquiring minds want to know!
 
I just got with my buddy that manages a paint supply place and he set me up with the gun and desacant drier filters. I had some old metal real estate signs and he gave me some returned paint and I just started practicing laying down the primer..made mistakes and corrected things and got good at that first.
Then i laid some paint to the primer and figured out my liquid feed and air and speed of my sweeps across the panels. Got good at that and then moved on to adding clear over the paint. Made a lot of errors and asked a lot of questions right here on the forum. Got really frustrated with myself and some results but I kept picking away.

Chuck, you seem to get into an awful lot of different stuff. No matter what it is it comes out great as you are really a competent guy. I hate people like you (jealousy). You're the one guy I'd like having go thru an old bike for me.
