Right I thought i'd show everyone whats happening with my RSV, couple of crashes later I've stripped the fairings off, to see what I can salvage.
First off I bought half a bellypan but it was off the R model so came with a white stripe on it as oppose to the nasty grey, so I was going to strip the other side off when I thought i'd give this a punt,
I simply masked it off and sanded it down, underneath was white, took 10-15 minutes to do, its flat but doubt anyone will notice once its on the bike :thumbup
Also repaired the crack near the mirror on the front fairing, sanded, primed, sanded again
And on goes lots and lots of silky satin black :biggrin
Actually found it really strange to spray with satin black, it goes really glossy when its wet, and as it starts to dry, certain areas go dull and I thought fook i'll have to do it again, when eventually it all dulls down to the proper satin finish :eatcorn
more to come when a few more bits arrive.
