Rattlecan repaint

Just finished my 1st serious rattlecan repaint of my tank, 2 side covers and tail. Totally delighteed with the results. You CAN do this.

Sorry, trying again with the pictures.

And the next.

And the last.

Looks great. I going to try this on my fairing and chin scoop this winter. Any quick tips? IE: prime, sand, paint (how many coats) sand, clear, etc?

Do you have a way to resize them from the original to a larger size than the ones you posted? They are'nt the original size are they? Of not, try 640 width...we want detail! :laugh:

Rstnick, Thanks. I used Dupli-color 5oz cans in Hampsted greem metalic. Rubbed down the original parts with 150 grit and washed them in warm water/detergent. Primed with the Dupli-color grey filler/primer 2 coats. Rubbed down with 600 grit wet&dry, washed again. followed by 7-8 fairly light sweeping coats of the color. Very lightly did the 600 grit one final time, washed again. 4-5 coats of Dupli-color "clear" then buffed, by hand, using 3M rubbing liquid/compound. Waxed with turtle wax paste.

Hope all that helps.

Thanks, that's what I needed.

WOW! Very Nice I think I'm going to be doing some re-painting this winter!

Better pictures. I've resized to just under 150k. Hope that's right?
