Your project is looking GREAT!  Keep going!

Don't take this the wrong way, but your tank still shows evidence of that dent.  It looks good mind you, but as someone that repainted my tank, and found a small dent I didn't fix, after painting, it bears mentioning.

Yep, there is a very slight raised area above the dent, like the rim of a crater. I pondered knocking it down, but that would've flattened the curved area of the tank, leading to more problems. So I decided to leave it, with the Candy Blue paint I'm using its barely noticeable. Once the decals have been added and the clear top coat added, hopefully it will be even less noticeable..

Nice projekt, and well done metal work on  the aluminum parts!

The bodywork has had two coats of 2K clear top coat so far. Now waiting for the decal kit to arrive, once that's applied, I'll spray another 2 or 3 coats of clear, followed by lots of cutting back and polishing. The side panel shows the candy blue with the first two coats of clear on top..

 

Bit nerve wracking applying the decals, that done, the bodywork was given another three coats of 2K clear. I'll wait a few days, then cut it back with 3000 grade wet  n dry, followed by cutting polish and then a final polish. Can't fit the tank badges yet as the screws I ordered 6 weeks ago still haven't arrived..

The paintwork was left out in the garden all day, as ultra violet light helps it to cure.. plenty of that in sunshine..

Nice paintjob not easy to paint with candy .!

The candy blue color painted parts looking brilliant!
Like to see a quick mock up on the bike......

Me too, though the bike currently has no engine and no wheels..

Fitted the tank badges and new filler cap, so that's the paintwork done thankfully. Not polished it yet as the 2K clear still seems a bit soft, so will leave that until the bike is finished. Now time to move on to making some rearsets...
