Tank and Side panels need to be G5 Green.
 |
| Leave for three weeks and starts looking a lot better. |
 |
| Inside very nasty. Add some low acid 5% should do. |
 |
Inside now looking good so lets start the outside.
|
 |
Connect a battery charger and a Zink bolt to coat
the tank, Well give it a try. |
 |
| It will be a pain to match but I will find a way. |
 |
Off with the Honda badges and start removing old
green paint. |
 |
The original paint is called TQ Ilex
Green Metallic Special. |
 |
I took the tank to Middleton Panels & Paint
in Gloucester |
Mat has mixed up a relay close match, fingers crossed.
 |
First pass looking great.
|
 |
| Looking better and better. |
 |
| Filler primer. |
 |
Nice ding in the base just
at the seat line. |
 |
My Home made spray
Booth. |
With these actual decals they react to thinners so I had to use K2 spray from Middleton Panels & Paint.
 |
| First clean well |
 |
| Spray with soapy water. |
 |
Slowly peel of backing paper
pressing out the water. |
 |
Fit Decal in place.
|
 |
Same with the "preserve nature"
sticker. |
 |
Now into my booth for 4
coats of clear coat. |
 |
One lug was broken so a melted
washer covered with fibreglass. |
 |
| First top coat on 3 more to go. |
 |
Primer on and ready for first top
coat. |
