Repaint for Model 03 fuel tank
Repaint for Model 03 fuel tank
Tank has been sanded smooth in the damaged paint areas and the clear coat sanded to have enough tooth. But it’s too COLD to paint. Victor

Today I got the primer on, but it’s dropped to 42*F so no color until after I get back from Colorado to pick up more Hodaka stuff from Paul Schwarting tomorrow! Victor

Re: Repaint for Model 03 fuel tank
Found a couple of bubbles which collapsed in the red paint. Had to spot sand, primer and re-spray red today. Clear coat tomorrow! Victor

Got the clear coat done today! Two well built up coats! Enough, I’m sure, to be able to buff to a high, smooth, shiny gloss! Almost an entire 8 oz. can of clear coat! Can’t wait for the decals to arrive from Terry! Victor

Re: Repaint for Model 03 fuel tank
Looks great Victor! Do you do another coat of clear over the decals?

Re: Repaint for Model 03 fuel tank
I haven’t in the past, but I may with these! Here’s the bike all back together with the decals on the air box too!
One thing I haven’t done is repainted the battery cover. But it was in such good shape and demonstrates how well the Chevy Victory Red matches a sample of existing paint! Victor
