Thanks Leon and Eric. It is a much finer texture compared to wrinkle. I have done true wrinkle on the engine covers. I think I like it. I have some parts from Z1 coming to begin the final assembly process.

Can't wait to see the finished product.
And if you look at all the other viewers and replies, I think I am not the only one :laugh:

Your build is an inspiration for mine so keep up the good work.

Well something unexpected happened......

Anything wrong with this picture? I got a call from my painter today stating on this Friday @ 5:30pm he is closing his doors for good and he just can't handle the stress. He apologized and told me to come pick up my stuff that he couldn't finish it and he was not going to charge me anything! WTF? So it is now base painted and two coats of clear, but still need the striping and 3 more coats of clear....UGH.... So now I need to find a painter urgently and hopefully won't require to start all over again. This sucks.....

Anyway, my new swing arm hardware from McMaster showed up and my Bitubos are in place........so a slight ray of sunshine.

Thanks. Think I found my solution. He is about 2.5 hours away. Going to drive up and drop it off Sat.

I realized that since I had the tail section here....might as well see what the seat looks like. Note the pan is not in place so it is not latched in place and thus perfectly in place, but you get the idea.

It won't be needed, but I would need to redo some things if I did.
