Passed my Mod 2 today Two minors both for getting too close to parked cars on odd occasions. Cant complain with that!

Also rented a rug doctor from work and saved myself from the misses.

Went back to the parents house to dig out my old spray equipment last week.

The Tyga kit was in a sorry state as it had not been fitted properly had a few holes some cracks and alot of drips marks from a shody paint job! So I had my work cut out for sure!
Set about patching up the holes with some fibreglass and after lots of filling and sanding was able to get a couple of high build primer coats on.

Cut it back with 800-1000 grit then shot the white, I decided to use an Ibis white (Audi colour) as it has a slight pearl to it, along with a vauxhall blue and a bit of black. Went for a Konica Minolta inspired scheme.
It still needs a final cut back and buffing up.

Had a bit of a mare with the blue as it seemed to react with the thinners in the clearcoat and caused it to crack so had to strip it back and respray it with a different clearcoat.

Hope to get the bike back on the road end of this week or beginning of next!
