Doms CB550F1 project
DomP:
Baking it with an electric heater seems to have done the trick, I'm really paranoid about flatting it all back though😳 CCR recommend 1500,2000,2500,3000 then a polish, any paint guys care to weigh in on this?
Laverdaroo:
I’d go straight to the higher numbered w&d Dom for fear of shredding it. Plenty of water with a squirt of fairy liquid in it and it should rub up well if you’re happy on the set of the paint!
I thought the UV would have done it but chuffed you’re getting there buddy.

Yeah its definitely getting there, just splashing the cash on heating the workshop up🤣
Do these carb adjusters look at bit far out? Most photos I see they only show a few threads. I think I'm going to get them off and revisit the whole carb thing while the tanks hardening up.

Yeah, a bit I think by happy to be corrected, it’s not a huge job to sort though bud, better to be safe than sorry. I’ve both the 400 and the 550 to do once they see the light of day again. Booo! think yerself lucky
