thanks for the comments everyone, Actually kept at it today and got it all painted :thumbsup: I have not been able to decide on a color, and honestly I didn't feel like spending anymore money so I just grabbed some leftovers from the cabinet.
Its nason (dupont) Black effect ( I used this in the past) I did spray it over a neutral effect this time, I have a whole quart of that color and just wanted to see what it looked like sprayed out, I'll be interested to see if it changes the tone any over the other bike I did which I just sprayed the black over the gray nason sealer I use, have to get it out in the sun and see.
Not too bad, I gotta really deep clean my gun though got some debris in there :doah:

"Ful base" dunno if its still in the books, alot of this paint is from my buddy before he moved a few years ago. Might actually be a standard fleet color
I guess you could compare it to a decent paint job on an automobile :shrug: Its all urethane auto refinishing products that are used in auto body shops

Thanks everyone, Yea the fuel line works great...till you go riding then they fly off :laugh: but for around the shop they are helpful
I figured I better start cleaning the engine and give it a once over, its been sitting for a few years now since the last time I had it running on a bike. Tank is soaking right now and I am getting ready to give the engine a good bath! gotta start polishing the Flexo header too!
I got to detail the wheels still but I had slap them on to see how it looks now that its painted...I liked it better rusty and raw :doah:
I have another set of the Tab loc wheels that are in the same condition so I am going to start those and then swap over the parts so I can still roll myself around the garage while I work on them :smile:, might try like I did on the mickey bike leave the centers sort of rough finish and darken them with wax and polish the outside out.
I also ordered a seat...I am going to call it a "temporary" seat as the color and style may not go to well. Will see when it comes in.

Hey Markus!! Love this build!! I have some of the automotive door edge trim in black that I use for a protector between trees and frame!! Looks and works great and you just pinch it to make it hold to desired thickness as it has aluminum "U" shaped bits inside! Wont fly off like the fuel line!!
I would be more than happy to send you a strip to protect that beautiful paint job!!!! Just PM me an address to sent it to if you want!!!! :thumbsup:
