Picked up a 1982 kz750 .

I got a set of foot pegs off of Ebay and I cleaned up my tank and got the color on it today . Hopefully I will be able to get some clear on it and the side covers tomorrow .

I was busy today . I got all the color done and clear . I did not paint the pic I wonted but I can do that later and I did not get the tanks side badges on again Later . Here are some pics of the tank and side covers on the bike .






It do not even look like the same bike . I just have a hand full of things to do and I and call this bike done for now and on the road .

Love the color Mike

Thanks I have a Mazda SUV that is close to the same color . They look good side by side . I have under $15.00 invested in everything for the paint job . I like to call it my cheep bike .

I under stand that it is not fuel proof but I did use 5 coats of clear and I will have to use cation when fueling it up. I am letting it set for at least 4 days before even thinking about fueling . That should help and I will be using rags around the fill whole when filling to help prevent the gas from getting on the paint . I have seen many riders do this .

I was careful with fueling for 4 months after my rattle-can job. I was dealing with a jumpy pump handle, and trying to hold it just right so it would flow slowly. It splashed and fuel hit my tank. I reached for the squeegie and it was dry. So now my clear coat looks as if it melted.

.

I do agree after a experience I had yesterday . I was going to paint a fire bird on the top of the tank . I put a lot of work on the prep and color and clear coat and I had a couple of different Golds but only one was compatible with the color and clear I use . The cans look alike . Well I grabbed the wrong can . Needles to say I am repairing the top of my tank and I said heck with the bird . :sick: I am going to call my local body shop and find out how much they charge to spray a couple coats of clear on the tank . Since I used Auto paint in the raddle can I hope they can clear it for me Over what I have . I am going to run with what I have for the side covers since they should not see any gas .

Some Mothers Back to Black followed by 303 Aerospace Protectant will bring that seat back to life in a grand way. Neither product will leave the seat slick like Armorall does. I use both on my Goldwing seat all the time.

The Mothers Back to Black will bring life back to all your black plastic as well. Then follow up with 303 on those items as well.

Thanks I was wondering how I was going to take care of my seat and the part of the air box that shows . Thanks for the tip I will use it . I have used the 303 on a rag top on a 2001 seabring I had and it works .
