Started work on the spare tank, had to fill a tiny dent in right hand side, starting to rub down and remove the decals.

You done a good job of getting that dint out. We got a fleet of vans at work if you want to start on them next.

Looking good!

Cheers all, this is turning into a longer job than i first thought, i`m having to wait for good weather to spray as my garage is full of junk/spares/bikes and have no room to spray inside.
Time for another clearout.

I did ask about but no-one i know does spraying, so i thought i`d give it a go myself, my biggest problem is if i start a job i have to do it all at once, but this painting lark needs a lot of patience, waiting for stuff to dry etc.
At least i`ll have the satisfaction of knowing i did it myself, but if it goes all tits up i`ve wasted time and money, and end up paying for a proper job.

Well Chaps. had a busy couple of days, got the tank and mudguard primered and top coated.

Almost there, got them both flatted back, and fitted the decals.
Not 100% perfect but i`n happy with the result, especially the tank.

Mrs RF9 (bless her) has let me keep them in the new conservatory over night so they`ll be ready for final coats of laquer later tommorrow.

Then they`ll be left for a couple of weeks to harden before final flatting and polishing.
Should be ready when i come back from holiday next week.

Having to have a rethink on the seat panels, as the speedblock decal wasn`t long enough to have the end piece on the rear end.
