    Thanks GK,I'm happy I went this way to.One thing I've noted about the red is in cloud or shade it seems quite dark,in the sun it just pops.

      Yep, can see the difference in your second pic there Greg, nice! Clear coat should be quite awesome on top of that

        I really had to repaint the MC.Regular Plasti-Coat wasn't cutting it.Got a rebiuld kit off eBay for a good price so I put that in to.

        Added a brake pressure switch while I was at it.Added longer leads as the EF/S have really long front brake switch leads.Was painted with VHT caliper paint,should be better!

        All bleed and feeling REAL hard!Should be right nice when I get her back on the road.Cut the banjo cover to make it fit over the new switch,it looks better now.


        Converted the rear to a pressure switch as well.Got those off eBay as well.Looks much neater to IMHO.

                  So went to get some new hardener for clear I had left over from the yellow paint.Where I bought it had sent all the Nason stock to they're downtown store.Just great have to go there to get it.So we get down there and after a bit of a search the guy finds some.I need some reducer to so he give me a small can's worth.I ask "How much?".He says "Take it,we are dropping the stuff anyway and I want rid of it"."Thank you VERY much" we said to him.I get to use up stuff I've had hanging around and helped him to,a rewarding trip

                    Here in Comox, we have a forecast of sun and a temp of 25°C for at least a week. Hopefully it's not much different for you.

                        Title of my thread on what happened with the clear says it all http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum...d.php?t=210856 Been trying to get it ready for a bike show on the 27th.not going to happen.Had to take all the runs off the really bad side of the tank and took off enough red I have to redo that side.

                          That's too bad man. I know you said in another post that a better gun is out of the question, but have you tried an auction house or pawn shop? I've seen some good stuff up here on occasion, if you want I can keep a look out for you and let you know. I know a few people that head down your way quite regularly.

                            All sanded and the "patch" is in place,will clear again next weekend.Think it will go WAY better this time

                              Well that is MUCH better!!Good 6 good coats of 2K clear on.The gun worked pretty good.A good wet sand and polish it will look even better.Think I'll need to get a DA polisher.The soft clear of the yellow polished nicely by hand,this stuff's already WAY harder
