[jezz]

This is my ducati i am going to use crazy modeller decals and zero anniversary red her are the pictures of the wip so far

Most of the parts have been painted and have had a coet of clear over them ready for the decals

started the decals


i am working on the cf decals next they might take a few days as there are lots of parts to cover

[Pippin1974]

what clear coat did you use?????? looks great!

[jezz]

The clear i used is zero prethinned lacquer i will put a final coat of clear once all the decals are finishe to seal them on it it will be sweet

[Pippin1974]

I have this lacquer at home, but I can't use it...when I sprayed with the airbrush a lot of "dust" appears in the bike!!! I never have obtain this bright with a lacquer!!!! How do you do it!!! jajajajaja

Hi Jezz, looking good, does that clear go over decals with no problems or have you not tried yet! would like to know how it works out. Also what are the fumes like off it, are they as strong as 2-pac-clear?

If by 'dust' you mean that the lacquer goes dusty and white and has a cobweb effect to it then try adding more thinner to the mix and also experiment with the air pressure from your airbrush.The 'cobweb' or 'white' effect is usually a sign of one or both of these things being wrong.It should spray fine if you correct these two problems.If you mean 'dust' particles from the air landing in the paint then you need to spray in a cleaner place to stop this from ruining your paint work.

great start

[jezz]

i have done some of the cf work so far i will cover in tamiya smoke the clear all over still some more parts to do yet the airbox etc



once i have finished cf i will do some more of the decals on the faring and clear all over

[stevenoble]

Very impressive carbon decal work.Which brand of decal did you use? Nice finish so far on the bodywork parts as well.They will look great when you clear again over the decals and polish.

Is the rear fender and other pieces supposed to be made up of multiple pieces of CF? Because it appears you didn't match up the weave patters which makes it look like you are trying to replicate CF patch work.

yes im going for the patch work look i think on this one it will give the cf part a better look other than one peice of cf once i have sprayed on some of tamiya smoke and clear-coated it agin it will look fine
