Yeah, yeah. It's getting closer. I hate painting and paint prep.
Anyway, here's some preliminary preview pics of the project. Much more to do, but I hope to have it running and on the road this week. I've made finishing the tank my priority so I can fit the fuel pump and bolt that together. I have some custom Triumph vinyl logos coming, (as well as something else very custom) which should be here Saturday or Monday. They'll be flat black to go on the camo, but still be somewhat visible.
The grey didn't come out as dark as I wanted, but the olive drab is fine. It could be darker though. I'm wondering if I can clear over the whole thing with a tint that will darken it all up?
Still unsure about mirrors. Lots of options.
Lot's of little bits will be painted a special black- more on that later!
I'm thinking of painting some of the engine cases olive drab to match, and I have something special in mind for the swing arm. I've fixed the scratches in the swing arm, but it still needs paint. Stay tuned!
