Kenny's painted T8
Jul/18/10 12:10 Filed in: Customers
When I was finished with all the clear coats, I went to the bucket and started to clean everything and re-lube it all including the bearings. By 4:30 Saturday, I started to re-assemble the T8.
The paint looks great, only a few dings in the process, and easy to touch up later. by 7pm all was back together. I spent a little more time assembling it so as not to scratch it.
If I was going for a custom show paint job, I would have taken the time to color sand the red, and then the clear as well and polish it out, but even without that, you can see how great this turned out.
I would have never attempted anything like this ( a complete tear down), but going through the Trikke training academy enabled me with the knowledge to do this. I enjoyed evey minute of it, and now my T8 matches my 1800 V-twin mtorcycles color.
Here are the pictures, and I’ll send more in the next e-mail (and please share this with Fred)
