After a week in my backyard spray booth(actually portable car port from harbor freight), I just reassembled my bike this morning, finally mounting the track skins. I'm learning the fun hobby of painting and this was the best chance to practice. Its still not finished...needs the orange, white and red mid graphics, with the "repsol" logo, to come soon.
The stock repsol paint scheme has kinda gotten old for me, my street plastics are in the Repsol colors so why paint my track plastics the same boring Repsol colors you see everywhere. I've wanted to paint a bike this color, "marble gray" for the longest time, I've had a few car's painted that color and it looked sick.
I basically took all the blue and swapped it with the gray...This gray is covered in a light purple pearl clear coat. Came out well, but I am soo damn lazy to wetsand and buff everything...I still need to do the lowers. For the pieces I did finish, they turned out really glossy.
see for yourself...I call it the reverse 69. Go Nicky!
And here's the booth setup, fully enclosed, full down draft using filtered box fans in front...simple and effective.
