CB350F Restoration by royhall (NOW FINISHED)
royhall:
Cheers Chris.
Yes it was a spray. I haven't done this before as Honda have only just finished having there hissy fit and they used to come ready done. But like all thing it's a learning curve and wont happen again.
The template from Piki was actually very sticky and pushed into the grain really well. The problem was that the Rustuleum spray was very very thin and penetrating. A thicker brush paint version would probably be a better option. It's cleaning up okay though, will have another little go with it later today. All will be right in the end.
Spitfire:
Try spraying some clear varnish on the edges of the mask, this should seal the edges and stop seepage.
Cheers
Dennis

Now that's a top tip. Thanks Dennis.
Chris400F:
Dennis, can you clarify what you mean please - it's Sunday morning and my brain is not fully working yet.
Do you spray the mask before applying or when it is in place, before applying the fabric paint?
If the latter is there a risk of the paint not adhering to or reacting with the varnish?
The seat I did was my first so I am still on the learning curve too.
Spitfire:
It's what we do with masks used on scale models, you place the mask on the object, then seal the edges of the mask so that paint cannot seep through, you do this with clear varnish, if the varnish seeps through it will be clear which is better than silver or white paint. It does not take a lot of varnish, it's only needed on the edges and yes test out the clear varnish with the paint to make sure it's compatible.
Cheers
Dennis
