    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.

original paint

Dropped by my paint shop and my painter was busy doing prep on my tank which is to be painted. He mentioned to me that he was confused. I am pretty certain that the paint on the tank was original based on overspray on the bottom and the color and use of OEM decals. He thinks it is a re-paint. The top part of the repaint is base/clear but under is also a blue that he feels is a one stage epoxy. There was NO primer under the blue. I have a 1980 GS1000G and it sure looks like the original paint to me. Anyone have a clue? Just curious because once he gets to bare metal, there won't be anymore blue about the paint anyway.
 
It could be a colored primer. I think that color blue has a few stages involved.
 
No pics, sorry, didn't think about it. I thought that with this many folks on this board who have painted, they would remember if there was a recognizable primer (grey, I guess) because once you sand through the blue under the bc/cc, there is no recognizable primer, only the blue stuff the painter though was a single stage epoxy paint.
