Interesting

Speaking for myself paintwork is the most daunting thing. So far I've done an air box, caliper and rear light mounting. Experience is the key!

Do you mind telling us what preparation methods you used?

Do you have any larger pics? 600 wide would be good.

I remember painting my CB175 (long time ago). I was very careful with the primer, colour coats and laquer. When I took a mechanical polisher to it (attached to my trusty old Black & Decker), it went strainght trough it...    :(
