Default paint update..

so the paint was finally completed. When I p/u the parts, the tank was still un-wrapped, waiting for the Tank emblem to be reattached............

so I snapped some quick photos, the photos did not come out to great, but I'm VERY pleased....

while waiting, I watched this tank be wet sanded, then they polished her up in about one minute...... I was very IMPRESSED (don't take much, I'm not a painter LOL)

on this same bike, the rear fender has a painted skull with red eyes, the red eyes are the rear lights, while checking it out, I was unaware of this until Randy (Owner of Rock & Roll) told me. The tail lights were cleared over.................sorry I should of snapped a pic, but did not.

Carefull with that baby - putting her back on. I assume you need to wait a few days for the paint to fully cure?
