Chopper stripped for a repaint UPDATE

[405bigdog]

Got it torn apart today. Hope to sand and prep tomorrow. Then paint Wednesday. We'll see how it goes.


Update. As of 3-21 it's all painted, has some flaws in the clear that once it's cured we'll address. Then I'll post some for potm

Just winging it. I've only painted around 3 full vehicles and 10-12 individual panels. But I got a very good deal on a sata rp series gun. I sell paint through my oreillys so I can buy anything I need for supplies. So we'll see how it works out. Already mixed up some dodge sunburst orange metallic with a little extra copper and gold pearl.

You might not like this but I would change those rocker boxes for S&S ones and then spend money and time on the paint job.
All the best with the respray.

[405bigdog]

are you gonna redo the frame to match?

No I like the black accent. Matches lower forks and risers

Can't wait to see it in the sunshine!

Trial and error my friend. Sand it down and re-apply.
