My Paint Job

[Five Five]

Well because I don't have deep pockets and my case is still dragging out in court (no settlement) I have been forced to paint my own bike in my garage.... here is a picture of my tins I just finished the clearcoat... a little more filler glaze on the frame and some sanding and i will be able to shoot the frame... My paint setup is harbor freight and tool equipment, 10 gallon air compressor and HVLP spray gun for under $175.00

Paint is a urethane, color is Firethorn Red Metallic Pearl.

I cant wait to get back on the road !

Wow, Five thats awesome. You ever do this type of thing before? I am certain I don't have the skills to bust out something like that even with some practicing. Good work and keep us posted on how things are going.

Thanks all for the comments ..... I knew once i pulled the trigger on purchasing the compressor and spray gun... that was it, I was committed, it was a learning curve from your conventional siphon guns but i like the new technology with the gravity feed.
the pictures are from my iphone and do it no justice on what it really looks like .... the color really pops and clear provides great depth and not to loud .... I bought way to much paint (1-gal kit) but i have plenty left over if it needs a touch up :up:

That looks great Bill. Can't wait to see the frame. And more than that can't wait to ride with you again.

Thanks Ray.... I've had my starter sitting out on the garage floor, and I need to box it up and send it to you... at Wild Steed Worx for A+ rebuild... I will call you when I get it boxed up.
