Track bike PAINT- Round two.

After a couple of "get-offs" last season.....it was time to paint some new bodywork. The pieces are Armour Bodies. I'm going with the same paint scheme that I used last year, which is the original 999R design and OEM Ducati red paint.

I invested in a disposable bag liner system for my guns that speeds clean up between color changes. Works OK, but needs a little more fine tweaking!

The trick is having the pieces mounted solidly to a stand that is at the right height to get at all the spots and secure enough to work on the taping, etc, between coats.

Quite the "get-up: heh?

I've built custom stands that I can rotate as I spray because I don't have much room to work in my makeshift paint booth.

I've sprayed the red base coat, let it dry and applied intercoat clear where I'll add the white plates and decals.

Here's the front number plate area taped off.

All three pieces on stands. The lower (foreground) is dull because it has no intercoat clear on it.

Two coats of finish clear.

The finished tail.

Stickers, tape, number plates and finish clear.
