And....

The co-workers have named it Reba

 

[FuzzyWuzHe]

Love the name ... I think she will be sassy and she'll definitely have a tude, maybe even sing a few notes ...

 

[DeathBySnuSnu]

How about Jessica Rabbit.

 

[LadyonaMission]

Reba!

Sanded for another hour today.

Trying to be ready for color on the fenders early Saturday morn before work time.

 

[DeathBySnuSnu]

Worked late yesterday and bought me a morning off.

So back on the paint.

I am out of supplies....All used up.

The only thing not done is sanding the rear fenders and adding more clear. The tank and front fender have this done now.

I put everything I had on them. It might be enough without more sanding and coating.

 

[DeathBySnuSnu]

I so wanted to put something together to see what it is looking like. But is is all too soft yet. Did what I could and forced myself to leave the rest alone.

 

[DeathBySnuSnu]

Could not stand it.

Went and put the fender on.



Moved the fenders out.

 

[Gorilla]

Don't blame you they look GREAT

 

[DeathBySnuSnu]

Worked a buncha hours Sunday and Monday.

But I tried to do at least a little something this eve.

Assembled the tank fittings and washed it out.

Did a volume check while at it.

6 gallons to the cap.

 

[DeathBySnuSnu]

Tank is on.





And I sanded the rear fenders and put 3 more coats of clear on.

Is it Candy ?

 

[Gone2Three]

That's going to be one slick looking ride Rex! :clapping:

 

[DeathBySnuSnu]

Yes candy



1 coat bare metal epoxy.

3 coats (more on tank) sanding primer.

1 coat sealer.

3 coats metallic silver.

2 coats clear with silver pearl.

4 coats clear with silver metal flake.

3 coats clear.

3 coats clear with candy red concentrate.

3 coats clear.

3 coats more clear.

With all the pearl it should light up in the sun on top of being metal flake sparkely.

It has not been in the sun yet and the cell phone pics just don't really show the flake sparkle.
