Sandpaper,fine grit,check.
Spray paint cans,check.
Neighbours kids signed up as willing help,check.
This was fairly straightforward.First,I unbolted all the bits that needed paint and set the kids onto them with sandpaper.I was lucky since the tank had been covered by body filler and sprayed down with a basecoat.
Fork lowers,upper t-plate and the gas tank were sanded lightly and then rubbed down with some muslin like cotton dipped in thinner.
Gave the kids the spray cans and told them to go ape on the thing.It came out rather nicely,IMHO.
I found a guy who specialises in powder coating and plating stuff,so next to go will be the rims and engine side cases.I have no idea of how to plan all this,so far I've been going by feel.Seems to have turned out alright.
Some pics to ponder over:
Decisions,decisions,what carb to use?TMX 34s or the TM28SS series?
LPG taps for the gas tank.Cheaper and they flow more than a Pingle.I'm guesstimating about 900 cc's a minute.Should be more than enough to keep me out of trouble.
