Final Paint
Well say goodbye to hours of painstaking freehand painting with a small brush stolen from a Tamiya model kit, and say hello to hours, days and weeks of fine lacquer layers.
The final colour is on and its looking amazing, really pleased i've gone with this design. As you'll set from the pictures i've also prepped the frame ready for lacquer.
The gloss black completes the 5 colour pattern.
Quick recap
Its been a slow process with many hours spent in front of the heater hand painting this beast, this is how its developed in five photo's.
I've already had a trail with the lacquer on the forks and after applying a liberal amount I experienced the coloured paint running a tad. Thus i'm rubbing those back and repainting. I discovered that if I just build up the lacquer in very fine layers 'dusting' over the paint it doesn't run, so i guess the lacquering process may take a good while.
