      Thanks mate, probably 8 coats in total, and of course it still as yet has to be wet sanded and polished!

    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!😂

    • @Moonfleet41
      @Moonfleet41  19 дней назад +1

      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.

    Question: If I may , why paint it gloss black, then flatten it and paint a clear gloss over the top ?

    • @Moonfleet41
      @Moonfleet41  28 дней назад +5

      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!

    • @Moonfleet41
      @Moonfleet41  27 дней назад +1

      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

    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?

    • @Moonfleet41
      @Moonfleet41  28 дней назад +1

      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.

      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.

    • @Moonfleet41
      @Moonfleet41  27 дней назад

      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..

  • @loganalomar9919
    @loganalomar9919 28 дней назад

    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?

    • @Moonfleet41
      @Moonfleet41  28 дней назад

      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.

  • @JDnBeastlet
    @JDnBeastlet 27 дней назад

    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.

    • @Moonfleet41
      @Moonfleet41  27 дней назад

      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 !

    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.

    • @Moonfleet41
      @Moonfleet41  27 дней назад +14

      Perhaps it's in mourning for the slow death of the biker culture where once there was humility and respect !

    • @tommylitchfield3450
      @tommylitchfield3450 27 дней назад

      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....
