Title: Re: Went to the Paint Shop Today Post by: Raux on September 24, 2008, 10:33:21 AM that's a carbon fiber tank? if it is love the negative style paint job. leave the carbon show through on the details is a nice touch.
Title: Re: Went to the Paint Shop Today Post by: Capo on September 24, 2008, 10:46:16 AM Yes its a carbon fibre tank. The guy did a good job, you cant feel any line where the CF meets the paint.
Title: Re: Went to the Paint Shop Today Post by: OwnyTony on September 24, 2008, 11:26:21 AM WOW! [clap]
That is a VERY CLEAN looking tank. Really slick man. Title: Re: Went to the Paint Shop Today Post by: Buckethead on September 24, 2008, 11:38:35 AM That'll go really well with my new Retro Corsa helmet, and my birthday is right around the corner.

Title: Re: Went to the Paint Shop Today Post by: ducducgooseme on September 24, 2008, 12:27:57 PM Stunning!!
a few bits of advice from one carbon owner to another.. 1) caswell coating for the inside is a must! 2) if the tank was used, check the hinge for cracks 3) NEVER lift the tank with any gas in it (hinges on these are weak) Absolutely gorgeous paint job! Cant wait to see it on the bike Title: Re: Went to the Paint Shop Today Post by: CairnsDuc on September 24, 2008, 12:49:07 PM Nice work, Should look like a Million bucks on your Steed! [thumbsup]
Title: Re: Went to the Paint Shop Today Post by: Capo on September 24, 2008, 01:31:47 PM It should work well with the seat

Title: Re: Went to the Paint Shop Today Post by: ducpainter on September 25, 2008, 03:59:06 AM I did one of those with carbon showing for Dragsterhund. It's a lot of work.
I'm doing a replacement for him now. His DP tank failed. Split wide open at the rear seam. The new one is an eti fuelcel. |
