Got the BB Blackout cups cleaned and installed, but it was a long weekend and I lost steam. Have to wait for more progress pics.

Re: @@ Paint it Black @@ May 10 Update Frame 'n' C/R

Postby yeshoney on Thu May 10, 2012 8:12 pm

Fianlly finished buffing out the frame so I can now post a full pic of it. Lots of color sanding and buffing by finger! For a $10 spray bomb it is miles deep and all black! CWC W/F Chain ring now adorns the build.

Thanks, Joe

Re: @@ Paint it Black @@ May 18 Update Fenders

Postby yeshoney on Fri May 18, 2012 9:32 pm

All i got done this week was the Fenders. Lots of sanding and block and dolly to get out the dents. Did the best i could and then got the extra holes filled. Lots of Gloss black on the outside and Gloss red on the inside. Will need to setup for a day before I sand and buff.

Re: @@ Paint it Black @@ May 24 Update Front End

Postby yeshoney on Thu May 24, 2012 9:49 pm

Got the Front fender mounted and the fender brace sanded and polished. Mounted the wheel temporarily in order to check clearances. I need to take it back apart and move a few things around so that it rolls in the center of the fender but i will do that at the end. If I did my calculations right when I mount the rear fender I hope to not have to cut any relief notches in the fender, but we shall see.
