Welcome back, Warro! I saw that you posted a video several days ago, but when I went to watch it after I got home from work, it was gone. This was excellent, though. I think it's funny that you did it in the summer; that would be one of those winter projects for me. Fantastic results. Thank you for the video!
@ridewithwarro3 минут бұрын
yeah that clip never got many views so i pulled it. its far to cold here in winter to try and put the clear coat on so i took advantage of the better weather cond. plus i still have to cut polish and stripe it. reasonable job i think for a spray can but when i use to paint the cars im now certain that a compressor and gun was a far better move....lol and much quicker to. plan to leave it for a few days now then on to the cutting and stripes. i think it needs those to break up the colour - too much red so i think that side will be worth the effort to do all the best!

@ridewithwarro9 минут бұрын
id preferred an actual compressor and gun but i tossed that unit out a few years back so it was only a rattle can hit or nothing. in all honesty not as good as using an actual spray gun/compressor but it sort of did the job. maybe i should have kept my good gear...lol

Massive improvement , I don’t understand why the produce a 70s retro style bike and the paint them in modern day trendy, dull Matt finish 🤷♂️ they should have looked through the history books and given a nod to the 70s candy / metallic paint finishes , I guess it’s a cost thing , but Enfield. Seem to be able to do it ! My classic 350 chrome bronze and inter 650 are gorgeous ( I’m an ex pro car painter ) I’m interested in a GB350s to add along my other bikes and if I do , first thing it gets is a paint job as the colours here in Europe are bloody awful , I’ll also be fitting the same rear mudguard rather than the hideous plank Keep up the great work , best wishes from Austria 🇦🇹

if any-one cares to look on the tube the honda hiness came out in india in blue and white and looked extremely period style. plus your right i remember the candy colour honda motorcycles in early 70's and yet for some reason -they provide these drab matte colours. by the way if you get one add a 13t front sprocket. a big improvement on the cheap and performs well.

the main areas are just clear coated and the tank itself is a very dangerous to your health if your not masked up correctly 2 part clear. i did not go into any detail on the painting just in case some-one does something silly and gets done in. could be their last ridewithwarro...lol so passed!

over the years ive done it to about 20 cars from mustangs to classics most were bare metal re-sprays so this was not too involved. but not with a rattle gun. the last real spray i did was a mx5 miata and after that said i'd had enough and parked the air compressor out the front and it was gone in 5 minutes complete with hoses guns the lot...lol believe it or not i hate working on cars/bikes and spraying cars...lol

My GB is the black/grey or whatever it is. You have done a great job with the red which is reminiscent of the old CB250. The change to red is let down a bit by the black engine/side cases/wheels. The old silver and red CB was such a pretty little bike that your red/black GB doesn't quite catch the essence of. Great job but I think I will leave mine as is.
@ridewithwarro22 сағат бұрын

well 15 or so years back when i did the full re-spray on that yellow car it was originally black. took about 80 hours work to do that but its still holding on. cars are expensive to spray and a good quality job would cost you $20k here

Your skill level stretch to some K2 style stripes? Silver or gold? Even using acrylic paint if you have a close look you will see some overspray on your car, polish should remove it unless you used enamel or two pack it might take a bit more. Why did you paint the seat?
