It looks great from far away, but still looks not so good up close. I'll sand it down and paint it properly some time later when I have time. :)

I never would have thought of that! Very clever. Isnt it good that people make nail polish in Suzuki colours? How did you go with your tank?

I know isn't that nice of the cosmetics companies?? I had quite a selection to pick from.. I have 2 shoe boxes filled with nail polish. I had 5 different blues and 6 differnet silvers, I picked the ones that matched the best.  ;)

It's actually really good for a "quick fix" because I tested this on a piece of the old broken fairing - nail polish remover takes off the polish and doesn't touch the original paint, so when it comes time to fix it properly I won't even have to sand off the nail polish, just dissolve it off with the remover.

I found a tank! Just working out the shipping details, I should have it soon :)

all this means is that you don't have to get your hands dirty and you can drink beer.

Don't listen to davipu -- he's drunk.  (That's not an accusation; that's his own confession!)  Since Meighan isn't around, here's how I think she does it:

Thanks again Kerry for all your help.

BTW no apologies are in order. He's entitled to his own $0.02. Besides, I was too busy laughing at his post to take him seriously :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  

I'm not sure what was funnier, his not knowing how to use the "quote" button properly or his blabbering. :dunno:
Davipu, would you like some cheese with that wine?  :(  :(  :(

I've lived in NC for 10 years and I know a redneck when I hear one. Go ahead and drink another beer on me :cheers: Hopefully, you'll passout :P

My feelings exactly.  I keep forgetting to pepper my posts with  :lol:  and  8)  and others so I don't come across like an "old sobersides".  (Name that movie quote!)

I was just poking fun.  :roll:  Sigh....

Dave I went drinking last night too.... too much gin! I feel mildly hung over, however, the headache that I've had for 2 days is finally gone!!! So, I will have to remember this, gin = no more headache! :cheers:

Kerry thanks for posting the "how to" on image enlarging, that is how I do it :)
