It kind of brings back those days of long ago when the trees were on fire and the brick walls were all melting.

No prob Trippah I figured you didn't see the thread.

Bikingb- I painted it yellow, I think I made the decision after seeing Kropachek's bike. (another member here) It's funny how much the color of the bike can change it's personality. Cost- If your not looking for a pro job it shouldn't be too bad if you were to take a pre-prepped tank and fenders to an auto body place and just pic a color.

And Lancer, the grass is always purpler on the other side. The other side of that little square piece of paper.

seattlesavage- many thanks. The local body shop (auto) said $300. for tank and body parts. I didn't think of the frame until (PLEASE FORGIVE ME) drooling over a moto guzzi. actually that V11 is the lime green with red frame..this could get addictive. So, for those of you who know about these things, if I experimented with rattle cans until I found the color combo I liked, how much extra work would that put on the professional paint guys?? Have a great holiday weekend..I am, like most viet nam vets, (and I would suspect desert storm/iraqi freedom vets) ever thankful to be here and feeling a bit of pain for friends who didn't make it.

Kev So, what do you do to pre-prep the tank and fenders? Do I have to strip the paint or paint them with primer?
