update chaps:
after many sleepless nights and hours trawling the web for ideas, i finally decided on how i was going to do it, , i looked back at the old pic of the bike realised that not only were the shades of green different, they didint line up on the panels properly,i,e the green on the nose is the opposite way round to the green on the tank
So i had to work the paint in a way that it will flow accross the bike from front to back.
1st up is primer and then the base kawasaki Lime green paint on all the panels, then mask up the sections i want to stay green
Now all the inserts are painted green and masked up, On with the black base paint, this in theory should make the Green inserts stand out more than if they were just painted one colour
3 coats of black base paint and then allow to dry a little before removing the masking paper to reveal the green inserts
Next up should be the clearcoat while the basecoat is tacky, but i still have to add some blue to the belly pan and then the decals before putting on the clearcoat, so will have to let these dry, add the others bits and then scotchbrite the whole lot to give it a little key for the clearcoat to bond too.
more pics soon when i get the fairing complete.
thanks again for your comments chaps :thum_1:
