About to turn around and strip the tins a 3rd time. It’s going to get a satin black paint job from left over tins from work.

Did you do anything regarding upgrade to the valve springs? I had one with a cam and a little head work in it in my first stockcar and they were the built in rev limiter at around 7500rpm. You probably know this but pay attention to the oil pump drive. They’re a great little motor apart from those two things

Must be time again gents….someone pick a date and time…I’m in Melbourne again late this month -
Yeah. I wanna stay with the yellow. I’m just gonna run the base coat and wax the shit out of it. Back guard also frittered so that’s a strip as well.

Pictureless update due to being angry at myself. Had tank and front guard in top coat and had sanded the couple of small runs out. Gave it a wipe down with a rag and some prepsol. Let it dry and started putting on the (what I thought would be) topcoat before the clear. Finished up and left them in the sun. Went back half an hour later and the frigging lot has reacted. Turns out this Rustoleum paint doesn’t like prepsol. FUCK IT ALL. so front guard has been ripped back to bare steel again. Tank tomorrow. Faaaaaarrrrrrrrkkkkkkk it all

Good stuff Greg. I like it

Lol. It was a decision made between me, wife and daughter. I was absolutely done and lucid at the time

Bought paint yesterday. It’s bright. YELLOW. Throwback to my old days where my first 2 bike were yellow. I think it will look okay

Aaaaannnnddddd I’ve just been thrown a curveball. Wife has decided that the blue is too much. Back to Bunnings in the morning…..Hhmmmm.

Have applied a fair amount of etch primer to the tins. Guide coat on tank/front guard. The tedious task of 400 wet n dry starts tomorrow. We decided on a colour and bought it. I am going to paint it with rattle cans and it is not going to be orange. It’s going to be a light blue with the original badging on the tank. Should be different

And the chapter of boat ownership has come to an end. Collected yesterday and actually made a small profit from it. If all goes well and to plan I’ll continue this thread with something completely different watch this space

Yeah, I could be persuaded -

Just a plain solid colour. Not metallic or anything crazy. Just needs to be brighter than the black/green. I’m thinking orange but jury is still deliberating
