After some long hours rubbing away at stubborn paint, much swearing and curses that I'll never do this again the results have been totally worth it.
Took a lot of what previous threads advised on how to do this
- paint stripper as far as I could go
- sanded the rest off going doen in grains
- de greased
- masked up the whole and I mean the whole bike, I literally had a newspaper monster
- primer 2 coats
- paint 3 light coats building up slowly
- lacquer 2 coats
- left to dry 24 hours
I was hampered by the weather, I dont have a garage so had to pic my days carefully and it was a battle against time as the rain closed in. If I was to do it again, which I may do next winter. I would take longer prepping the bike, Not too hapy with some of the work but overall 8/10
