Post by: highrisedrifter on August 22, 2007, 11:12 PM: I can't wait to get these built up now. I've got the green bits from Tefore#s yellow and green GT Performer and some red bits from Daz to go on the red one. Including corresponding alloy tuffs for each.

Top stuff, Dan. Very much appreciated. :daumenhoch:

joe masking stays on but if you dont peel it off early then when the paint gets hot

the masking tape leaves a mark on the paint,

trick is to peel the tape of before the paint gets soft in the oven :)

Post by: superbikedan on August 24, 2007, 11:51 PM: the maddest thing about painting these is the the green/white frame was the first and the masking

was done by guess work :idiot2: then copied the second one :coolsmiley:
