I did my paint job with rattle cans........ Three of Ford Radiant Red; one of white; one black; two primer; two lacquer.
That looks excellent for rattle cans. Every time I've used them it looks like a two year old has done it.
I will admit I had some good advice from Sev. The trick is in masking and rubbing down the joins and finishing coats......1000grit;2000grit;3000grit;6000grit; finally Maguires to cut it even finer; finished with Auto-Glym resin polish. I did make a mistake, though........when I was applying the tape on the red so I could do the white, I placed the tape on the wrong side of the line I had marked out. Having sprayed the white and then the black; I carried on with polishing and lacquer etc until I was satisfied I was finished. It wasn't until I came to put the Ducati decal on (I don't lacquer those usually because the witness mark they can be a real b*****d to get rid of if ever paint needs doing again) I notice the white band on one side was 6mm narrower than the other. Tit..........I thought.
All done, very pleased with this little gem, light refurb costing about £300 all in, servicing, hydraulics, paint work.
Great job, might I suggest a smattering of AGIP when you do the fairing stickers, ahem , like wot mine has got.
Cheers Mark, yep i got AGIP's and i think that's all i am going put on the fairings, a personal thing .
