Well, as much as I love my 899, ive become fed up with parking up and due to the Ducati's popularity, returning to find another red one parked next to it. The time for a colour enhancement is here. I resisted for a year and a half but its now just a must. Inspired by this years motogp scheme ive began the job. Main difference will be that I have a fetish for luminous yellow and that unlike the race bike, mine will be gloss finish not matt. Have finished the seat cowl already and will continue from front to back.
Thanks, finished up the rest of the seat unit today and refitted it all. Next week will be cracking on with the petrol tank. The original red looks so much better with laquer on it!
Looking good so I assume your a painter by trade or is it more of a hobby that you appear to be good at or is some one else undertaking the paint work and prep
No, right first time, painter for 20years or so now . Worked in all areas, bikes,cars and boats. Now working in aviation but wuen I do the company a favour or two they let me loose on my own projects. Sprayed my girlfriends mito last month. People kept passing by mine to look at hers haha!
Total ball ache to get back on but top fairing is bolted in place, I can see why people dont put the mirrors back on!
Looks really nice paint is so much better than decals and being in your trade you can change back you have some talent
Thanks, Down in portsmouth mate. Im balls to the wall on it trying to get it ready for trackday at Silverstone on the 29th. Sprayed the white on the centre panels this morning, will hopefully be graphic'd up by end of day and laquered tomorrow

Well, one more pic to show todays progress. The graphics I have,while great quality were packaged in such away that theu were creased here and there. Im completely anal when it comes to my paint jobs so all in they took an extra two hrs to get just right. Will clearcoat them tomorrow.
Ffs I have been lookimg for a good reliable paint sprayer who wont change Almeria prices for a while and have just moved...FROM close to Portsmouth! Lol
Clearcoated, very pleased with everything so far. Lowers are now sprayed white. Monday will bring with it black, silver, tricolore graphics and more laquer
Cleaned the bike ready to button her up . Also vinyl'd the front mudguard as wanted to keep the satin black
Proper job mate. I wish I could spray. Going to set up my own murder room in a few years and have a go.
