So I finally got most of my bike painted. I used the guide Radare posted for painting, and I am pretty happy with the result. Some orange peel in the clear, but I think that will buff out after I apply spray max 2k. The front fender and other side panel are still in the shop. The side panel is still giving me issues with alligator cracking, just a small area now. I'm not really sure what to do about that yet. Still lots of snow, so no worries.
Anyway, here she is. Before and after.

I really like the black and red myself. Once I get the rim stripe on the front and the fender, it will look good.
I noticed as I put the rim stripe on the rear that I have a nice dent in the rim... Guess it's time to get an fzr wheel. It's probably been there since I've bought the bike too.
I plan on painting the little things on the bike too, rearsets, handle bars and so on. And getting stock mufflers. These modified things are crap.
