Frank Z. Decals and a little spit and polish

[Good Times]

Looks great, I need to redo my handlebar switch housings, as well.
The right switch housing is for sale on ebay for about $150.
I can buy a lifetime supply of plastic paint for that!

Paint em up!

I'm in the same boat, got the decals and thinking about painting everything. When you painted, did you take everything off and spray? Or did you brush it on? I'd almost prefer something I could brush on so I don't have to take everything apart

I had mine apart already and sprayed them. They aren't hard to take apart.

Only you, Steve.

Bearing caps.... obsess MUCH, Steve??

I'll definitely pick up some of that Heart to Heart, even though it's a little pricey... don't care so much about my nails but nothing is too good for the GS! I may even go over the '750' badges on the side covers, looks like a good match. I found the silver Sharpie does a decent job touching up the borders on those.

Did you sand? Primer? Clear coat?

Sanded and painted. No clear. Not sure how the decals would take it, but it's not a bad idea.

Ordered a set for myself.

Now all I need is the time to do it. Gettin` tired of sitting there looking at these decals not mounted. This weekend... 2 grandson`s soccer games. One grandsons football game and one grandsons b`day. YIKES! And still have to find time to watch some football and sneak in a ride. A grandpa`s work is never done.

Decals take clear sealer (flat finish) very well. I use Valspar brand.

I didn't have to paint my switch housings so no word on primer... but probably a good idea if you're repainting. Just make sure you use a (non oil-based) solvent to treat surface prior to installing decals; rubbing alcohol works great.
