Well it's done... I'd have liked to have got the final coat on a bit thicker & perhaps just a fraction less temperature outside to let it flow out... but in general I'm happy. Got to cut it back & polish it back up now...

What I found was the doing one side is easy enough but when it came to matching exact decal placement on the opposite side that was really frustrating.Originally posted by LAB3 View Post1979 CBX, AW440 Maico, GS1150EF

Yeah, it's not super simple but I have a reasonable "eye" for that kind of thing & to be honest you will never see the two together by definition, apart from the ones that come back down the tank when you're sitting on it....1980 GS1000G - Sold

I laid the factory stripes to my Honda over the Duplicolor, then sprayed the clear. I gave it about a week before I put down the clear coat and made sure any bubbles were out first.https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4442/...678005be58.jpg

true we normally only see one side at a time but we are our own worst critics. it bothers the hell out of me if I mess up and doubly reinforced if someone else also notices the discrepancy and points it out.Originally posted by salty_monk View Post1979 CBX, AW440 Maico, GS1150EF

You could always put the emblems back on and leave it the way it is. Looks more like a factory paint job with a bit of orange peel in it. It turned out nice. You should feel good about it.

Run it as a Q-bike without emblems. Give suckers a bit of a surprise at the traffic light GP.---- Dave
