Decided I wanted the single color and none of those ugly decals.

Sure is hard to do a clean build though. Usually I'm like "eh, weathering will cover that" but with this one not so much.

I also think I need to start clear coating/sealing after painting. Even light masking tape was pulling that blue metallic off in spots.

I wish my first bike was half that good.
Painting and masking bike fairings is always tricky as there are basically no flat areas, everything is curved or angled.

For the small details I have started using gundam paint makers as they give better coverage than sharpies on small parts.

Might have to look into the gundam markers!

Totally missed this one. Fantastic job man. Real good.

Thank you. Definitely a learning experience, and I'd like to do another.

Very well executed mate, I reckon the decals would finish it off though. Just my 2 cents worth....
