    Matt Horn and I have been doing up a Fazer together...

    I painted the tank, side pannels, fairing, tank and bits on
    saturday... Had to take out some blips in the lacquer, dust, etc...
    Came out really good, my first proper paint job, Ford Panther black...
    I am mostly rocking... Why didn't I become a painter instead of a ok
    pannel-beater? I think I missed my vocation...
    Nice finish, I mopped the job, I think you would have been proud...

    :)

    Did you use 2000 grit for the post lacquer flatting/de-nibbing? If not, then
    next time.
    Coz "painter" is even harder to spell than that "panel"? :)

    I think I missed my vocation...

    Nah, one job done right wihout any major aggro is magic, but when you run
    into reaction problems, shade differences, primer bleed through, buffer burn
    through and then when checking that "Spuerb" job you find flatting marks
    that go right back to the fucking primer, then it's shite.


    Pictures are required, but I don't doubt you for a second.

    No, next time... A bit of mopping, then a bit of Finnesse-it to
    finish...
    Heh, must be...
    Damn, I *do* wish we'd taken some before and after pictures...

    Now get some good wax on it. Autoglym or similar.
    Indeed it is.
    I've seen enough pics of "before" to drown in, I want *afters* pics.
