Put everything back together, did some wet sanding and polishing on the fork lowers, engine cases and brake drum case. I think it came out pretty good.

Yeah, the clear is a 2 stage, fully resistant to gas. Haha, yeah, that is a good Sign. My mother in law would love you. Moody blues are her favourite band. Ryan

Here are the process photos, and the finished product. Silver flash glitter blast base, duplicolor metalcast candy coats. I'm happy for my first go at it. I know I can improve my process for the future.

I've just installed a new cam seal on the Rhs of the motor, and fired it up for the first time. Thing just started gushing oil out. I bought the superceded part # from a Yamaha dealer in town. Maybe I didn't install it correctly, so I'll have to check again and see. Ryan

Hopefully I've got this! Spud

the kit also came with a bottle of size.... i also got a size 'paint pen'

the leafing kit comes with a can of clear. i tested it on the paint (seeing it is just cheap spraybomb gloss black), and it didnt negatively impact it. ill hopefully have the tank back on and be on the road later this week. just have to deal with the typical clutch binding issues you get...
