typhoon 125 (minors chicks scoot)

wheels are the same type (nrg) not the same actual wheels.. it is really quite similar to that one, just a bit more pink than purple..

off to bed (to dream about sanding primer) ah well, all worth it

 

looks pink in that pic.. it was purple over silver flake (purple candy basicly) wiht a blue pearl... was nice man. was 4 odd years ago now. but ye.. had many blacvk/green typhs and hate blue/red

 

ok, well been a busy day... got 5 coats on everything and it was all going well... untill the last pannel. spluttery can (not mix'd right i doubt) went on heavy, reacted.. blah blah. it was a fresh can (first pannel painted wiht this can) so i can but hope i can flat it back and get away wiht the remainder of the other cans for the last pannel.. but oh well, chemicals can go wrong somtimes.

some fresh pics, still wet, not flat/polished atall yet (there drying still obviously) was hoping to get them done tomorrow but will obviously have to leave flatting/sanding down on the last pannel till sunday. plenty else to do on it.. anyway, pics..





and the dirty reaction :rant:


just to see the stock piaggio quality paint... LOL

 

ye iners will be stock (maybe chemically cut back to bring the black shine back) black clock pannel (front) as the pink is too much alone..

more to come, dsanding like mad

 

yep yep.. its commmin out like silly string.. holtz cans are good if mix'd right and the 17 year old fatty in halfords i doubt had a clue.. 1 out of 3 cans actually spray'd semi ok..

will see if i can sort it today, if not its back to halfords to shout and scream at some idiots..

getting her on the painting tip today, her job is to paint the top pannel black, wonder how it will end up

 

reacted paint becomes thin... wont find a run anywhere else

 

ok, after lots and lots of sanding i managed to sort the pan (well, its heavy primed and drying) top pannel is done just need to sand/prime/paint the bellypan black to match the clock pannel..

polly got her ass in gear wiht some more polishing (pics to prove it was her) didnt do a bad job atall on the can cover and a GOOD clean and its just putting it together now. welkl, few little bits an bobs but nothing too major, aint gonna be finnished by iow by no means but it certianly will be better than mot standard

todays work so far





more tomorrow

 

dont be a poof jeff its only a sander....

an yes ive always painted my own bikes.. terro knows this, i just charge what a sprayt shop would so its not cost effective.. this took me a week afterall (and to top it off the reacted pannel got repainted today, no metalic in the paint so it looks totally different!! PISSED OFF)

but ye, off to shout at some incompetant staff and get a refund.. pans should be on tomorrow anyway (minus one) and there should be a vid of it going up the road

 

little update, did the top pannel yesterday (again, nothings wet sanded yet) and thought id share the paint fuckup (missing metalic and non matching colour) so painting that tonight for the 3rd time (thats 3rd top so will be around 35 coats of paint in a week, great)
anyway




might just have this nearly built today (minus the side pan obv)
