TimC 462 Posted November 16, 2009 That's one of the best looking VFRs I've ever seen. :biggrin: Quote
Member Contributer Sparrow75 23 Posted November 16, 2009 Geez Louise! That is really nice! The black pinstripe between the red and white really makes it stand out! Quote
Guest vfrrider Posted November 16, 2009 How very RC30 looking. You will, of course, need matching helmet. :biggrin: Larry VFRrider Quote
Member Contributer JETS 22 Posted November 16, 2009 Thanks HS! Glad to have Louise seen. She is named for the women who tolerate my moto escapades, my wife and daughter. Louise was badly broken and all her plastics needed de-rashing and repair, so I conjured up the paint scheme after a lot of sketching and coloring. The paint work is all Harbor Freight HVLP guns, done in a spare room in my shop that I could hang parts in. I found decals at Extreem Decals and the stripes are auto pinstripe tapes. All was done with a PPG formula for R158P Honda paint. Clear coated everything to be weather and gas proof. My message is that almost any broken plastics can be pieced back together or spliced with other donor parts to come up with good repairs at low cost. It justs takes some patience. Let's save our Fourth Gen bikes!! Quote
