Sacked the painter, got another one. Price doubled, oh well shit happens, but now it's getting a better technique anyway. Silver undercoat, and then colours etc.
Hope the tank works out OK, it's a hard shape to make blend nicely, but we'll see.
As for wheels, I'm not sure what to dom, will wait until it's painted then make a call. Polished rims and painted centres or polished all over.
Just as I was loading the 22 parts to be painted last night.....I found the 23rd!! All this time I had forgotten the small shroud around the oil cooler! Bummer as I've run out of plastic etch primer. Still if you take away my extra drag seat there's 22 bits on a Busa to paint. (not including wheels!)
Anyway off to NZ for a week, by then the guy will have got base coats done and designs for airbrushing prepared (ooops, let that out didn't I?). So I'll chuck the bike onto a trailer and take it around so we can stick bits and pieces on it to make sure all the lines flow from piece to piece OK. Maybe I'll have it done mid November!! Then back to finish HIDs, Air shifter and few other bits of bling!!
