Start KH7 pickling the chassis or brake fluid, do not worry not damage the plastic.

Once the chrome stripping, fill it with putty to dry and sand until a surface as thin as possible.

Adjust the pieces to make sure the fit is perfect or afraid to fill the frame more.

This one I did for welding with Evergreen rebar
pressing with a flat screwdriver.

Once this is done all the parts separated and prepared to receive a coat of primer.

This is the technique I use to remove the paint pot
without any unpleasant surprises.

This is the result once primed, ready to be painted with bright black and then receive a coat of Alclad polished aluminum.

I want to show as pinto exhaust, after glossy black enamel paint applied with a coat of Alclad Chrome let it dry and start to implement transparent colors, blue, orange, red, to achieve the desired tone.

Greetings again, I will explain the process of placing the decals, I personally moisten first part where you placed the decal with Microset, I place the decal in place and I carefully applying layers of Microsol, helping me a dryer hair on the decal applied heat until it is totally adapted to the surface.

To adapt this decal had to trim the ends.

Really superb work on a bike that needs total detail added from scratch since there is not a set for it.

I have this one and hope I can get it to come out that good!
