Started my rd350 f2 project

[petenofear]

Have some time on my hands at the mo as you would expect with what’s going on in the world,

so thought I do some to the f2 .
doing the fairings first as when there done they can sit up in the loft out the way,

not to many photos but your get the idea, top fairing was very badly damage and badly repaired and was cracks here and there on the rest ,

top fairing still needs a bit more work but I have started lol ,

this is it now apart from fairings of course 

[petenofear]

And now due to me being self employed and not working due to this bloody virus ,and no money coming in I have decided to go back to what I originally wanted to do as I have the paint and graphics a lot cheaper than the ones I was after ,

Just a tester paint and I like

So today’s efforts,

As you can see there is some panels painted yellow but that was only for me to make sure I was happy with the colour which I am ,

So gone all over again today , wet flattering it all for a finale primer , will add pics when I have done this ,

Then a light wet back ready for the base coat if I new sticker kit turns up that is ,

So as of the last photo it’s time for a beer 👍

[petenofear]

Got the second prime on this morning

So then decided this afternoon to get some top coat on ,, but as you can see from the last 2 photos it got away from me ,

Got some runs to now flat out lol ,

Me being impatient trying to get a 4th coat of yellow on way to fast haha 😆 never mind it will flat back no problem,

It’s nice to see someone having a go at it themselves. Well done.

[petenofear]

Decided to have a break today with the painting ,

So though I would start the pull the bike apart , this is about as far as I can go at the moment till fairings painted so I can put back on to fit stickers and pull of again to lacquer,

Soon as I have finished the fairings I can strip rest of bike to start painting the frame

Frame now all painted , base and lacquer

[JonW]

no messing about Pete, good work.

[petenofear]

Bare metal,ed the exhausts today what a job that was ,

But happy with the results

[petenofear]

I have now painted the swinging arm and have done the front forks as want them to match ,,

Done engine and other bits ,, as you can see with engine I have not pulled right apart to paint ,, it’s a good strong engine so decided to paint with head and barrels on ,, and when the time comes for a top end , or full rebuild then I will re do ,

The next thing as your see from the photos I ran out of lacquer, so called on a mate to see if he had any to get me by and as you can see the lacquer has a silver glitter in it 😮 but I like it and can only really see if very close

Roll on putting back together and go for a ride when I am aloud out lol

[petenofear]

And now she is back on her wheels ,,

Thank you mate ,, it’s not like some of the builds on here that are excellent but big big money spent on them, but mine is done to a really good standard and it’s going to be used 

thanks
