Top job mate.. but how comes you don’t wear a paper suit to prevent dust falling from your hoodie?
That is the painting outfit.
Lol😂
Lookin' DEEP!! That's blacker than my old Kindergarten teacher's heart!
ha ha that harsh.. Black as under the bed aye..lo!
Meticulous work and a result to be proud of. Happy days, Günter/Nürnberg
Some fantastic layers you layer down there! 👏🏻
Thanks mate, probably 8 coats in total, and of course it still as yet has to be wet sanded and polished!
paint day is always the most rewarding, regardless of the project.
It sure is.
Hey brother. Nothing worse than having a paint job that looks pretty damn good, knowing your going to flat it and it’ll look shit agin. Good news is it’ll look even better (after some elbow grease)….but it still hurts!😂
Ha ha yeah, ands the knowledge that during the process you can trash the whole job with one single burn through on a corner.. but hey, that just makes it all the more rewarding when you get it bang on and happy.. Enjoy your weekend mucker.. long time no see aye.
Beats the days of the rattle cans..good job
Another great video brother ! Flawless paint job 🎉 looks bad ass !! Can’t wait for the next video ! Stay safe guys cheers from New York 🎉🍺🍺🍺🍺
Thanks both, glad you enjoyed... have a great week there in NY! D&Px
Question: If I may , why paint it gloss black, then flatten it and paint a clear gloss over the top ?
Firstly the clear coat is a little more impervious to fuel spills than the raw colour, but also adding a layer of clear to anything gives extra depth and this has a slight rainbow flake and the lacquer's needed to encase that!
Super job.
Mint 👌👌👌
Excellent job 👍👍
Thank you 👍
That's a paint job you could fall into !!! So much prep work must make the end result even more rewarding. Really looking forward to seeing the tank with all its jewelry on. Great job Del and big thanks to you and Penny. Have a great weekend my friends. ❤👍👍
Prep work indeed Rick, it has ot be a multi stage process to get the best results, and that goes not only for prep, but also for finishing too.. that will be a long day also, but i want this as perfect as i can get it. Thanks you as always for your kind support, and have a wonderful weekend.. Take care. D&Pxx
Well done.....at usual😉👍👍😎
Nice
Deep enough to swim in! Nice!
Thank you!
You have a spray booth!!!!
I have use of one !
How many layers of paint have them axel stands had over the years? . Grate job on the tank .
ha ha, I do have to take a hammer and bang them off every now and again! Thanks for your kind words.
That a nice spray job pal,got my bike sprayed years ago and it looked nothing like that.
Fantastic job as always mate loving the vids as always :-) hope you and PP are both well 👍
Thanks mate 👍, good to hear from you!
Wow. What a great job,
Thanks!
Great video Del. The paint looks amazing. The prep work is key. Have a great weekend.
Thanks mate👍, you too.
Excellent Job Del,
Hope you and Penny are both well,
If I may or have I missed something, What has happened to the Sportster 1200 that you converted and costumed haven’t seen it for ages and don’t remember seeing it finished?
I did make a full video of the final fire up, perhaps you didn't catch that one?..and also a compilation video of the full engine build end to end, but the bike has yet to be MOT tested and once it is, i will make a ride video out in the sunshine as i do with all project bikes.
Very satisfying to watch, absolutely faultless, your spraying skills have come on heaps, looks really good. Thanking you for your time and effort to help others
Thank you mate for such kind words, it's much apprciated 👍
Nice job.. Big hello to Penny! Hope all is well with you two…😎
Thanks for your kind wishes mate, trucking along here!
Thats a nice subtle flake, i bet it pops in daylight! 👍✌️❤️
It eill once it's polished for sure buddy.. !
Hi Delboy, looks like a factory paint job. Can't wait to see it installed. Great job!!!
Thanks 👍
Excellent job on that tank Del ! can't wait to see it on the bike mate 👍
Me too Paul, looking forward to getting it fitted.
Nice video Del & Penny, excellent job mate. Better then the days of the old rattle cans, getting very posh in the paint shop LOL. Hope all is well over your side, starting to get some rain over here. Penny and you have a great weekend and take care. Cheers
Thanks mate, paint shop is a treat, i can only use it now and again, and i will always love a rattle can, so versatile and easy to use.. in fact, ill be setting to with a few when it comes time to paint the Hayabusa again... maybe not black this time though, who knows.
superb work del a1 plus
Thank you Allan.
Well dosen't that look like a bright new pin, Well done there.
Great job there!! Quite a project there.
Thank you, im looking forward to getting it fitted..
With penny supervise !!! Wink Am anxious seeing how fuel lines hookup.
Well done as always, Del. Really nice looking paint job on this tank... no doubt going to really look amazing on the bike. Take care and ride safe!
Thanks Don.👍 ill be putting lots of time into polishing it, wet sanding first for a glass like finish.. then i finally get to fit it to the bike.. really looking forward to it. Take care and have a great weekend too aye..
Your painting skills have certainly improved with each job. A big advancement since the, predominantly all rattle can days. Are you going with a bold color for your center accent piece?
Thanks Logan, practice makes you better i guess, and 40+ years at it i should be a ok at it by now! The tank is for my all black Street Bob, so a bright colour would look kinda daft on a single colour bike...but once i can find the right product, perhaps a textured finish to complement the gloss.
Hi Penny and Del - nice video! Very well done that part 6 of 4, mate! When do you paint the new metal cover you made, or will it stay yellow? Take care, dear friends. Be well, ride safe and have a wonderful weekend.
Waiting to get some black wrinkle finish paint for the console, and a couple of other parts that are on back order.. but i will press ahead to get it fitted none the less.. have a great weekend too and stay safe !
A masterclass, thanks Del 👍
Glad you enjoyed it Chris. 👍
Black paint! How original! I’m so tired of the “we are bikers so we like black” nonsense. Maybe it’s just a Harley thing which would explain why it is so cliched.
Perhaps it's in mourning for the slow death of the biker culture where once there was humility and respect !
How original... quoting the tired old clichéd trope about Harley owners liking black & chrome.... Can you spell "IRONY"? My guess is that you need another soy infusion, STAT... You get cranky when your underdeveloped gamete production facilities throw out a drop or two of testosterone and it confuses you greatly. I hope you feel better soon. Maybe watch The Notebook while waiting for the estrogen production to reach Maximum Capacity. EDIT.... You DO realize that this tank is a replacement for an existing, smaller tank that is... wait for it.... BLACK.... Logic dictates that the replacement should also be black, since it's going on a black bike. Just a thought....
I saw a documentary about bikers in post ww2 England buying up surplus army motorcycles. They could get em on the cheap, but the only stipulation was that they had to be painted black by the new owner
I'm about to sell my black Harley. Should I paint it in a pastel and would you be interested ?
