atlast,a voice of reason!:woohoo: thanks!

I will now revolutionise painting motorcicles! Sand, bondo, putty, rub and then prime your gobike. A little wet sanding (a little song a little dance a little seltzer down your pants). Now you have 2 options. Leave it shiney primed or give it a white shiney basecoat. Let it harden. Now go out to your favorite store and move slowly and make sure no one is watching. Go to the CONDOM department. If you have never been there before ask the cute salesgirl where they are. Look at your varities! Colors, styles, sizes! Lions, tigers, and bears! Oh My! Small fits side covers, medium fits tailpieces and large fits gas tanks. Please leave the super large for me. Now just go home and pull the newskins over the tank and trim. You can have about anycolor in the universe and you can have ribbed, spiked, autographed, glow in the dark. Impervious to rain, sun, sudden vicious beaver attacks and neculear fallout. Gentlemen prepare your engines and remember you heard it here first!:blink:

i tried that once but the lil ticklie things made the tank look like a puffer fish.

You say that like it is a bad thing..:ohmy: :side: :silly: :whistle:

I STILL don't know what Ron is talking about? What is so magical about 6 months from now? My Vulcan was repainted right after it was purchased and looked like new right up until it was sold last fall. 9+ years. It had been rained on, spilled on, bird-shat-on, left in the sun, acid rained on etc...I suppose he has a good argument for why early 80's GM and Chrysler vehicles with FACTORY original paint look like shit today...paint peeling, faded, etc. Must have been some bang up, quality paint jobs there. There is no way a repaint would have looked better or lasted longer:laugh: How many of you have original paint on your houses??:woohoo: Come on....why not???:whistle: That's it for me on this subject (repaints)...I'm tired of hearing about it. Ron, you need to let it go man....
