Red looks great - had a quick look at the 1100 motard thing yesterday and the frame in red looks stunning   :D

You know the craic with mag alloy wheels mate - a tiny scratch and corrosion can set in and they're very porous so need the correct treatment and coatings  :D

Just go for carbon wheels - it makes sense   >:D

yeah, exactly....  the powder coat that was on it was poor,  corrosion had got in everywhere,  it was bead blasted back to clean metal, zinc coated and re-powder coated into satin black.

The guy specialises in show stuff so knows his stuff..  very old worldy place where you nip in for a cup of tea while he gets his pics out from 1972  :rofl

it is.. no laquer required as it is a plastic based paint..  finish is spot on as long as you keep it wet when spraying  :D

when spraying and to keep it smooth,  do not allow the paint to dry before adding the next coat, apply the next coat as soon as the paint settles, 5/10 mins between coats  :D
