This video series features the complete restoration of a 1972 CL350 Honda Scrambler motorcycle. The videos should help anyone whether working on a cafe racer build or a full-on original restoration. I'm definitely not an expert so please refer to your manuals for proper disassembly and assembly instructions. Please leave comments if you have any questions. I'll be happy to help answer questions if I can confidently provide solutions. Again, I'm not a professional. This is my 2nd Honda motorcycle restoration and I'm learning every single day. I'd love to hear your tips if you have better ways to do things. I hope you find the series useful and entertaining. I strive to show as much detail as possible so that the videos can be used as not only a how-to resource but also a reference for the placement and original set up of parts and systems.
If you don't have one already please get a manual for your specific project. There are many available online for download for free.
Common Motor Collective, from which I source many of my replacement parts, has a fantastic resource on their website: bit.ly/CBManuals

Keep on wrenching, Friends!

Just did this yesterday and it looks fantastic. I never knew this method existed but with some patience it's almost factory perfect.
That’s awesome. It works really well.
Hey, I tried these on my Nissan wheel caps and it worked, thanks.
It should work on pretty much anything. Glad it worked out.
Why am I seeing Jack Black when I hear this dude speak 🐼
People keep saying that!
Lol that’s what I keep thinking
I like it, great energy.
5500 original miles survivor Honda cm 400 a gold and black on my Honda tank badges!!! But thanks for the painting tutorials
Sounds like a beauty! Thanks, Mike.
Love to see the hopslam! Cheers from grand rapids!
Cheers, Connor.
thank you
You’re welcome.
I just did mine yesterday I got smallest needles works much better but you got know how much pressure apply to syringe or can be not Good with too much application coming out not moving fast enough my question to You is how many top coats did You apply seem like dose not react well with 2 coats after 1st has Dryed I did And was clean finish VS 1 coat looks better not sure how react in Long Run since I'm Restoring my tank with fresh paint job
One big heavy coat. Don’t tip it! Let it dry. You could also clear it a week later. I didn’t. Still looks good.
@@KeepOnWrenching that's what I had do with left side and came out much better which clear coat did You use because I applied model paint semi Black blend
Gracias Amigo
You’re very welcome.
Hey Brian, Glad to see some new videos uploaded! Will you clear coat spray those after they dry?
Yes. Most definitely. They need some additional clean up and then clear coat to seal them up for good. Sorry for the lack of videos lately! Been itching to make some more vids!
@@KeepOnWrenching Can you apply the clear coat with the syringe also?
A few drops of thinners. 👍
That couldn’t hurt!
What size syringe are you using? Thanks in advance
It’s a medium tip. They come in a kit on Amazon.
Huh. Yeah I just did this myself a week ago with my model building paint and posted it on vintage Honda forum.
Nice! It’s really useful. I’m not sure you’re the only one in the entire world who uses this method tho. Pretty common!
Will this work with wider lettering?
I don’t see why not!
Спасибо. )))
No problem!
What paint are you using
Just Testors model paint. You can clearcoat over it too
The white is supposed to be gold at least it is on my original survivor 1979 cm 400 a
They schemes vary from bike to bike. These colors are correct for this 72 CL350. I hope the syringe tip works for you if yours requires some touch up. Thanks for watching!
Sounds great thanks a lot ride safe👍👍🙏🙏💪👌✌️✌️
how do you clean the syringe?
Paint thinner!
What guage needle are you using?
Medium tip.
@@KeepOnWrenching i did mine on my 1990 mazda 2600i 4x4 came out so bad ass thank you
what did you use to remove the old paint on the badges? I've soaked mine in mineral spirits for 30 minutes so far and it's not softening up
It actually cracked right off by using a dental pick. Really brittle paint. I just poked and pulled at it and big chunks would fall right off. I didn’t use anything other than the dental pick.
Brian Matson yeah me too but my paint seems to be holding up a lot better. I just tried boiling it in baking soda and water and only a few chunks came off and I also managed to strip the shine off the aluminum parts (oops). I might have to resort to paint stripper?
Or can you just scuff up and paint over it? I’d be concerned what stripper would do. Metal badges would be ok. But plastic I’d be hesitant.
Brian Matson I thought about it but it looks like it was painted over before so the paint is pretty thick so it wouldn’t have that nice even layer of paint unless I clean up well. I believe my badges are aluminum like yours?
@@at_offthegrid use acetone
But how do they paint them by the thousand in the first place ?
No clue.
@@KeepOnWrenching I think it's a spray on wipe off the high parts.... ?
Keep it up! Looking forward for more videos from you, don't stop! Would you like to be RUclips friends? :]
Hi. I am using testor paint on a car emblem and I’m getting quite a few tiny bubbles. Any suggestions on how to avoid this? TIA
Make sure you clean the surface. Alcohol pad or something similar. Might be caused by some residue.
@@KeepOnWrenching Thank you very much. If it's ok, I have another question for you. I am painting the Quattro emblem on an Audi. The original is chrome with black recessed letters. My grandson wants black with red letters. I plan on using your advice about the syringe for the letters but the black will be going around the letters. I'm trying to think of something I can fill the letter recesses with that I could paint over with black and when completely dry I can pull out what's in the recesses and use the syringe for the red. Do you think I could squirt some thinned Elmers glue into the letter recesses and let dry? Will I be able to pull it out easily? Sorry for the length on this. I'm trying to do an awesome job for the best grandson in the world.
This would take some experimentation. Couple ideas: paint the not recess first or use Vaseline in the painted letters. That would wipe right out when done. I’d definitely test, test, test. I think the glue might be a little much.
@@KeepOnWrenching thank you again. I’ll use the Vaseline trick. Fingers crossed.
@@KeepOnWrenching Hi again. Can you please tell me what gauge syringe and needle to purchase to use with filling in recessed letters in the Quattro emblem? And should I buy a blunt end? Thanks
Okay now use matte or semi gloss for backing areas
Totally! These looked pretty good tho.
looking terrible
Fill em up. They’ll look great.
