Paint, at last
When I got the bike, there was a little divot in the tank where it had been damaged by a previous owner. With the build pretty much done, I took the tank in to be media blasted.... which revealed bondo and a decent sized hole. I had hole welded and remaining pinholes brazed so it is tight as a drum again. That left a dent which required more body work. Rage Gold brought the lines back in place and Eastwood 2k primer, paint and matte clear finished her out. This was my first time working with Rage Gold and a first attempt at paint. It's nice to be done with the job and back on the road!

Thanks! I don't have any others yet. I'm about to pull the carbs for some ducatiman attention, so it may be a while until I have any exciting destination shots. I can take messy garage shots, though, if there's anything in particular you'd like a closer look at.

Nice! Yeah, the touch of blue is really nice against the rest of it being matte black.
