Skin the cat and do some wild graphics with the fur. You could name the bike "the cat beater". :laugh:

Looking good Randy, the front fender fits a little funny though.

Cats make real good .22 pistol targets:woohoo:

got quite a bit done today, wet sanded and reshot the clear on everything.

took a picture too!















ALL FROM THIS:


and this:



now I need a new seat, fix the brakes on the front, finish up the forks, License it, shim the rear over possibly, and recrimp all the turn signals.

Man, this bike has been alot harder than the mossbeater & Mosre stressful as well. But its almost good enough for me, only leaving little stuff like replacing nuts and bolts here & there as time goes on.

cool!

Is that a gallon can of Omni MR-186 sitting on the table? How did you like shooting the omni MBC basecoat? It's not bad to shoot, but with heavy metallic colors and silvers, it usually looks splotchy until it is thoroughly dried.




Looks good!

Also looks like you were afraid of the clearcoat. went on a little drier rather than risk putting runs on it? What size needle is in your gun? For the omni clear, I use a 1.4 or 1.6mm needle. For Omni MBC, I go with a 1.3mm, unless I am too lazy to switch out needles and nozzles.

That paint was my very first real paint paint job, so I was alot afraid of making runs. I liked shooting the omni paing, i used my Brothers gun though and have no clue what tips or anything about it.
Next time I will be in a garage though wrapped in a plastic shell Im going to make with exhaust fans & all.
im happy with the paint job, except that I oversprayed aircraft stripper on the left cover so I get to do that one over again, but not too soon. im riding it first. Going to ride it to my brothers work and repaint it there and then ride hom with it finished.

Looks pretty damn good to me! I'd feel very satisfied to pull off a paint job of that quality, if done by myself, for the first time.
