My DIY paint job

That looks awesome! Did you sand the color coats before you cleared?

Looks like you reshaped the seat as well.

I did sand the basecoat to get rid of the lines between colors and also sanded the clear between coats. You can't see or feel the transition from blue to white.The seat is stock.

I painted my 1150 back in the day when paint was paint and cancer was only a clear coat away. Todays paints are a lot safer to use, but the old two part nasty stuff from back then was almost indestructable. My son is a painter/body guy so my painting days are behind me.
By the way, very nice job.

Turned out good for an amateur, but not perfect.

You did better than many I have seen that are "pros", so I would be proud.
It is hard to be perfect, there are many things that can be overlooked doing paint and bodywork

You learned, possibly saved some money (time being " free" of course), and endedup with a great looking cycle. Nice job. I also dig the low fairing.

Looks like very nice.
