great work Kunta. This is something special. Like the exhaust.

How did you do that exhaust staining? Great work all over!

Joel,
I used clear blue, clear yellow, clear orange and clear red.
thinned paints with thinner in a ratio of 1:3 then sprayed them by low air pressure(0.1MPa).

I assumed the staining was made out of decal but as it was you building the kit I thought I'd better ask... :-) The staining is out of this world. Couldn't imagine you were able to achieve that glossy metallic heat stain with paint.

Here are final update pics.
made front cowl and mirrors. those are based on CBR1100XX parts.
decals are selfmade.

Your paintjobs are outstanding. As is everything else.

Really like the color combination on this bike.

I'm not too keen on this style of bike, as the bodywork feels too boxy, but the paint is beautiful.

Please can you explain in more detail how you created the springs for the rear shock absorbers? Did you just prime and paint the metal wire or am I seeing insulation? If you painted them, did you wind them before or after they were painted?

Thanks

Yes, I just primed and painted the wire after winded them.
