Great job, key to good paint as you know is in the prep and wet and dry the base colour to remove any texture before lacquer. Lovely job and fantastic bikes, always loved the smooth welds on these.Couple more with a better camera.
Thank you very much for the positive reply @CrossFred1978 - I have been at this for ages now and cant wait to see the end of "painting" and all that goes with it, am just a hobbyist with all this painting stuff as its the first time I have tried it. Indeed prep is the key, environmental factors do come in a lot when applying the base coat and lacquer though, thanks again for the post.Great job, key to good paint as you know is in the prep and wet and dry the base colour to remove any texture before lacquer.

Hi @JoniSteiner thank you so much for the kind feedback, am sure you could achieve a good job if not better. I don't have any YouTube videos that I actually followed, a lot was down to trial an error, which takes time as mistakes happen and your back to the first step with rubbing down for ages and then primer, base coat, lacquer drying times.Great to follow this. I'm incredibly impressed with the paintwork. I've never tried it myself, this makes me both hopeful (it's possbile) and very tentative (the outcome of yours looks super professional and I highly doubt I would achieve anything close to that). Thanks for the inspiration . Oh, and do you have any youtube links to see this process in action (ones you watched to learn etc)?
