Goldwing (brat/Cafe) build
alright! the frame is shot and done and re assembly can begin. i cleaned the hell out of it, then scuffed it, tacked it, and hit it wiht an adhesion promoter, then i used 3 coats of self etching primer, then the top coat of bed liner (non ruberized) after that was about cure i dusted it with a light coat of flat black, this will allow it all to cure together and dull down the shine, have to say it looks insane! just awesom!!!!!!
but here are some pics
you can see the color match wiht the powder is pretty good only diff is the textrue (that is why we wantd to shoot the frame in a bed liner then color match to have the texture in the frame)
motor and everything important wrapped up
original color before the flat black went over the base coat
motor unwrapped
odds and ends

Me too!
Joe- I'm watching this thread verrrry carefully. My ex- wife has my old '82 GL 1100 she'll happily sell me for 5K... or maybe donate to our 16 YO son as a Senior project for High School. So, I'm watching this thread verrrry carefully. I'll post as soon as I find out if she'll play along. Any ideas you guys have that you can pass along, I'd greatly appreciate. See ya.

hell ya man it is a blast to work on! this is the 2nd one we have going
also got the first round of red base coats shot on the tank and side covers... shooting PPG paint, still have a bit more red (all this on the tank is shades of red) to lay, then can shoot the black, then the flat clear, some airbursh and accent work... and the tank and covers will be done!
