Thabks guys. Yeah I learned the hard way with my meanstreak 1600 paid $700 to habe it painted an when I got it back. The guy put tye fuel tank on incorrectly so the fuel return line was hooked to the vapor line I flooded the engine going down the highwaybin my furst 5 miles to the point of hydro lock an all the guy had to say was im not a mechanic!!!!?! by the time I got a lawyer involved he had 30 people sueing him an come to find out he put all his shop account bs in his dying mother in laws name so no one ever got compensated. Fucking douche bag. So this time it is all on me for $300 an hope for the best

You can never get quality work like that taking a bike to some hack shop.  Doing it yourself, for someone with the right skills, will guarantee to get exactly what you want and you know that no corners were cut in the process.

I agree with the rest of 'em.  When you get it done, it will look good.  Nothing like a 2-tone Drifter...    It's nice you were able to do it yourself.

Man I agree, that bike is going to look great! And remember.... No one, and I mean NO ONE is going to notice that one little tiny imperfection (if any) that is going to jump out and scream at you every time you walk by...you'll be the only one that can see it.

yea might look bad but it is your bad and you did it not someone else, anyone can pay someone to do the paint, but the more you do the more you become one with your ride.
I can not pay the $95.00 per hour they charge around here for half a$$ work so I have been learning and with people like GB who used to be a good 800 owner, Troll with his skill and knowledge and people like D1, PC, DC, Baker and all the rest yes I missed a few and of course Chief who lets us use this place, we can challenge ideas, we can get honest opinions and we might not agree with everyone but we can make our rides ours,
so if it looks like crap at least it is yours and your own unique piece of work. Be proud of it.....

ok how was that as a pep talk.......

Thanks I sure hope so it has been a MASSIVE amount of work truly skilled auto body techs do not get paid enough but sadly they charge 3 times what I could of affording to get this bike done as it is so I had to do a dummies crash coarse in learning.
