Pikey Posted May 11, 2019 Posted May 11, 2019 You must have massive patience . I thought I was patient,but dang, a month ! But doing a home project I would want perfection,well as good as I could get it . Keen to follow this .

gummibear Posted May 12, 2019 Author Posted May 12, 2019 Did 2 colour coats last night and 1 this morning.
gummibear Posted May 12, 2019 Author Posted May 12, 2019 Gave the frame a light sanding now and applied the decals. Will leave it for decals to dry for a while before the clear coat. Working with such thin transfers is pretty hair raising as they just want to fold over from static.
RogM Posted May 12, 2019 Posted May 12, 2019 Looking great gummibear!! FWIW, Adendorff have an electric paint sprayer for about 600 SA Ront, I have recently sprayed 2 frames with MS primer, base coat and clear coat. Very happy with results, but also noticed it takes a while to cure and harden properly..
CAAD4 Posted May 12, 2019 Posted May 12, 2019 Sounds good ROG, but Gummi is located further north, where there is no Adendorff...
RogM Posted May 12, 2019 Posted May 12, 2019 Yep I saw that CAAD4, I was mainly posting that in response to the okes posts on the first page,,re what;s available or not on our shores..
gummibear Posted May 13, 2019 Author Posted May 13, 2019 Wet sanding before the 3rd and final clear coat.
gummibear Posted May 13, 2019 Author Posted May 13, 2019 Final coat done and now to leave for a few days before polishing. For a garage job I’m real happ at how it turned out. If you look closely there are a few small paint runs and other marks.
BuffsVintageBikes Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 For a DIY job I think it turned out brilliantly, well done. I love that red as well, it certainly pops
