Help Moanthebairns Paint his bike

[moanthebairns]

It's lacquered and all done. It's fking horrendous in sunlight, I'm not going to lie. The silver has came out well but the blue paint (I think because it was so cheap) is st.

I'm gonna need a lot of stickers.

It looks good in the photos but it's a bit like fat women on dating sites. They look good until you see them up close and then your like jesus.

At the moment it does feel like I'm riding a minger, I mean it'll do the now till something better comes along. But you wouldn't take it out in public.

You painted it in the freezing cold and in a wood you cant really expect it to come real nice.

TBH it doesn't look to bad at all from the pics. Don't worry about it slam some stickers on it and it will be fine.

Gold stickers on the silver and black on the blue. Looks fine for how you've done it. It's just track fairings after all.

Cheers. I will probably grab the primer from them. How many tins of primer did you use?

Black and blue. Like your women.

The paint was chosen, it was painted, it has featured in tons of track day photos, but thanks.

After a season on track, crashing and various other calamities the old girl is looking a bit fked.

Its more tie wraps and stick tape than fairing.

I plan to repair with the fibre glass stuff and sand down it all properly with a fresh coat of paint.

can anyone recommend the kit I need for repairs and some sort of electric sander to get the lacquer off.

We know you are a tight ass, but seriously, if they are as bad as you say you will regret not buying new fibreglass fairings off ebay. The fibreglass repair kits are messy to say the least, add in time for sanding and fine filling....etc.....think of all the time you will save

If I went down that route they would be getting sprayed professionally. By the guy who did my helmet....
