Re: Yamaha YZR 500 OW48

I finally got an update.

First I sanded all the fairings untill they were smooth enough for a layer of Gunze White 1200 Surfacer.

After primer I sprayed the TS-16 Yellow from the spraycan. I had a bit trouble with this paint cause it runs very quick. I had to start again with the fueltank. But now it's all smooth.

After drying I masked of the big fairing and painted the white area with Modelmaster GLoss White. When this was dry I was able to add all the decals. I thought it would be a nightmare cause I hate adding decals, but this was pretty simple. I used a lot of Microscale MicroSOL and a hairdryer and the decals react very well. I had to add a bit of black paint here and there afterwards.

I also removed the molded fairingscrews and replaced them with Top Studio screws.













The wheels were painted Mr. Metal Color Gold. I like the result very much, but I don't know if I need to clearcoat them or leave them like this. What should I do?



Next week I'll add some Sikkens 2K Clear on these parts.

Kris.
