Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.
You are one master craftsman.I am impressed.
Very nice job.

Red coats 2, 3 and 4 applied. No runs drips or errors. Picked up a bit of dust on top of tank but it will sand out with the clear. Overall for using a 1985 model binks siphon mini gun and leftover aircraft paint, very happy. Now I will let it dry till tomorrow and then spray the white and do the pinstripes. White is leftover jet-glo matterhorn white and got one shot imitation gold for the stripes

The old binks mini is good for small jobs, it did fine for this and will be fine for the white. Gonna do the pinstripes by hand, been 15+ years since i've tried em

If anyone has a 78 tank with stock or repro pinstripes I could use a hand.
Need the width measurements of the stripes, and also distance in between them and the distance from the indentation. Just one set of measurements from say the mid point top of the indent would do, I can interpret from there. Thanks in advance.

You da man
Except I haven't had a chance to get that far. I've been filing out a tiny little washer for a fuel mixture screw.
Here's a picture of the tank...

The close up picture will do it, I can calculate the stripes base on the indentation, thanks so much. Tried to do it off some other google shots but none were close up enough.

Bike is looking GOOD! You're doing an awesome job.
Keep going...
Thank you, I think it's coming together, paint was a biggie as I have not shot anything in years.

Bummer, I feel your pain as I have been there. On the bright side, I bet you will do a great job on the second go. Don't give up
