1st of all not sure if this is the right section but oh well...
Alright so i recently spent the night in jail for being a dumb/smart ass...Hauling ass and then "stopping" for police...so i decided to lay low for a while, wont be riding until its all over with...since i wont be riding i decided to paint my bike....
Right now its all broken down getting ready for prep...
going to start after i get all the materials i need, there will be a list so i can keep track along with pictures a little later...
I think im going to paint all the fairings either gun metal grey w/ metal flake, or white cant decide likely grey..i might do something with the accent plastics as well havent decided yet...
things i need:
Lot-so- Sand paper 400grit, 1500 grit and 2000grit
A lot of paint...
I'll probably buy the gun from harbor freight tools (anyone used one from them before?)
painting tape
may be updating with a bunch of questions about wet sanding and clear coating later on down the line...
should i paint the lowers matching the rest of the fairings or leave them black? I was thinking grey, white and gold with all the accents and the lowers white, but that would be a B**** to keep clean and at times i get lazy...
any ideas would be great..
EDIT: How the f*** do i get the gas out of the tank??? i cant get the hoses off the bottom either. Do i just flip it upside down and unbolt the "fuel pump?" from the bottom?
