Paint Pictures!

My clothesline painting rig





Wetsanding the Primer with 600 grit



3 light coats of primer then trim black



2 coats of trim black, then more wetsanding







I wetsanded the black with 1000 grit





In the meantime... I also painted my oil cooler cover... mainly because it was loose and easy to come off. Came out GREAT







I only wetsanded the areas that would be visible before I painted. No primer, though on the ends where there were chips,I tried to spray a little hoping it would help fill the chips. It didn't. And I also sprayed the primer after the 2nd coat of black. I never sanded the trim paint on this cover. Came out smooth!



Still am not done with lip...weather was only nice Friday

Scooter's fun

Oh and for good measure... "Get off the fucking scooter!"

It's alright, man. Everyone starts somewhere. While we all like to think we just "had it" from the beginning not a single one of us did. At some point in our lives our father's, uncle's, brother, sister(?), friend or mentor's have said, "Hand me a phillips #2" or "Give me a 12mm deep on a 1/4 inch drive..." and we where like, "A what, again?".

6 hose clamps, I redid the lines too. And my cover's bolts were stubborn, so i Had to bend it back. Yeah...

[AbsorbantNut]

Could you not find it or something? Its just 3 hose clamps...

[phreshkid]

Took me 8 minutes to do mine. Is yours located in front of the driver's side rear wheel or is it in the engine bay?

[5Toes]

Oh and I failed to mention it took me about 3 hours to do my fuel filter, plus another 45 minutes the second time. Yay

[AbsorbantNut]

[grantlacey11]

[5Toes]

Well today I got gas in my eye, multiple times. Impressed a bunch of 13 year old girls, with a pink moped. Failed at changing a fuel filter... wasted $14 on that.

Adjusted half my valves, Parker helped/did the rest. Also rode in Taft's S50'd car... hot damn.

Pics later...
