well this might be the most anal and expensive spray painting ever, but it's starting to look goooood. btw 1500 grit or any sand paper is way too coarse for a color coat. i'm doing 2000 grit on the hard clearcoat layer and it's dulling it a bit, then a med/fine rubbing compound to polish... so far so good. btw i am high off of fumes, it's ok i don't use all of my brain most of the time anyways.
and this grubee kit is utter trash as far as looks/company pride... the tank has dings and the chain guard is crinkled... they are black and my bike (will be) black but the paint is so horrible i stripped all the grubee parts of their paint and am on a primer coat right now. geez, i hope the mechanics don't follow close behind the aesthetics.... disappointed so far, but i haven't installed anything.
i was thinking about using some sort of dampener for the motor and every clamp that could potentially rattle. i heard someone used rubber from an old tire... will that not heat up too much for the motor?
