New Paint

[bubba zanetti]

I finally got around to putting some new paint on the ol' girl. I finally decided to go with blue iris metallic, a Peugeot/Renault colour from the late '70's. I have to paint a car in the this later on, so I thought it would be good practice. I haven't polished any bits yet, I'll do that tomorrow before I put the bike back together.

Looks good bubba!   I love that color

[bubba zanetti]

Ta, it looks really nice on the car. It also works well with black and silver which are the other main colours on the bike.

Wow, that lookes gorgeous. Could you please ellaborate on the technique and the process that lead to such an impressive result.
I would like to paint my motorcycle as well and could use every bit of the information. Please tell.

Here it is all back together







Jenya, the only advice I can offer is to do a good job on the primer and to take your time. The truth is there are some rough spots on the paint job.

I read your description of the paint color, but it sure looks like a stock suzuki bandit. Maybe it's the flyscreen , I dunno.

Nice job !

Did you cover the seat yourself? It looks SUPER comfy.

Nice looking bike!
