Amazing job. You do excellent work.

Sanding before going to work? That´s what I call motivated!

 

[MuchAlohaNui]

Careful with oily hands! Wear nitrite gloves yesterday! Also, you will get smoother results wet sanding BUT you have to be extra cautious with burning through your color layer. Always go finer grit if you're worried. 500 mL warm distilled water + a few drops of dish soap. Let the sand paper soak for a moment and flush/fold often. Sand paper is cheap; redoing a stage is a pita. I am a big fan of wet sanding between stages, but to each their own! Irrespective, you're making progress.

Your hard work and patience is paying off, that looks fantastic! .

Coming along nicely. I feel like I’ve been away for awhile and you got so much done. Really exciting to see it coming to life.

Thanks @HuskyDinoBomber

All that's left is clearcoat, decals and final assembly, hoping to have it done next weekend after clearing in a couple days

Clear coat is always the most nerve wracking in my opinion

 

[Canuckbiker]

It’ll be nerve wracking for sure. A big reason I’m waiting 5 days for green to cure, pretty much no reason to with 6-8 hours cure time required but I’m away this weekend so a no-brainer to let it sit in the furnace room a few days more. After this whole challenging process getting a good clear coat will be a huge relief.

I’ve watched some videos showing Montana Varnish being applied on bikes. Looks like it sets up and dries quickly so hopefully less chance of runs. Only 5 minutes between coats. I have two cans and will return the second if first can produces a good/thick enough coat.

Sunday afternoon clearcoat will be unleashed!

A good weeks curing will do wonders for the sturdiness of the paintjob, and with the clear I'd also cure that for a good little workweek if able

Clearcoat time!

Good luck and use the force!
