I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

Why, absolutely Chuck! I might even make it down there. I would have to trailer it of course. But not because I'd want it to be a trailer Queen, it's because my back won't take the long haul.

Good, be great to watch the progress.
Still waiting for mine to show up Chuck....It's smoke that make electronic components work.
Every time I've let the smoke out by mistake, they never work again.

Have to admit that's not exactly what I had in mind...It's smoke that make electronic components work.

It Finally was a nice day to paint. 78 degrees and low humidity; just perfect!!!
I blew it off with the air hose, scuffed up what little surface rust had accumulated while it 'sat' in my dining room , waiting to be primed. sprayed down the bare metal with DX320 wax and grease remover, then while it was still wet, I wiped that off with some clean white rags. gave it a once over with the air hose, choked my full size gun down to about 4" and shot it with DPLF epoxy primer. it took all of about 5 Oz to cover it using my Astro Pneumatic EVO4014.
Fresh off the gun...

The plan is to shoot the top coat this Saturday morning in a booth.
just so you know, DPLF can be top coated anytime up to 7 days and that's the reason I chose to use it.Last edited by rustybronco; 07-25-2011, 10:59 PM.
