weekend Panal repair done.
 

Thought I'd show you what I've been up to this weekend.

having put up with looking at the damage for to long, I thought I'd have a go at it myself.
Brought the paint in 400ml cans from MK piants, filler and alot of rubbing down, abit of fine filling,and as I 've had a go at this before on previous motors etc, I think I do a good job :smt112

not a bad job, as it was dropped at 10 mph by pervious owner.

u done a good job there, well done :)

Re: weekend Panal repair done.
 

thanks, did find it abit hard getting the right amount of blue on top of the silver base coat, but you can hardly tell,

just needed a good polish up in a couple of days.

Re: weekend Panal repair done.
 

I presume this is Grand Candy Blue yes?

I'm just about to do my race fairing same colour. Do you have the paint codes to hand?

So, its a Silver base coat followed by how many Blue coats?

Re: weekend Panal repair done.
 

the paint code is YC2 Grand Candy Blue , and you need the silver base coat.

Then a good covering of the blue, but theres no more or less coverage.

Then your laqure on top to finish it off.

good job

Re: weekend Panal repair done.
 

So was this one single coat of Blue to go over the silver?

Re: weekend Panal repair done.
 

I think its a pearl, isn;t it? it needs to go on in very thin coats, I think its 2-3. even if its not a pearl same principal. its a suck it and see thing, depends on the original job, tone and fade

Re: weekend Panal repair done.
 

eh? :confused:

I'm new to spraying. Whats pearl? tone and fade?

Re: weekend Panal repair done.
 

after placing the panels back on the bike, there is a slight differance in tone, as the blue I've just repaired is slightly darker than the others, but only slightly.

The silver is there to give it that perlencent/matalic look, as the blue is quite dark,

The silver is supplied as the base coat, when ordering the colour make sure you buy ths aswell
