Dr. Cranky Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Another stunner about to get paint! Can't wait.
Guest Dr. Odyssey Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 What kind of primer do you use John?
John Teresi Posted February 24, 2012 Author Posted February 24, 2012 What kind of primer do you use John? Dr.David.........I use PPG Epoxy primer.......3 part : epoxy primer,hardner and lacquer thiner........thanks.
Dragline Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 I've been watching from afar John, but this is sooo over the top buddy. The color coats are going to be a challenge and I for one will watch slack jawed as you knock it out. As always, STUNNING.......... Bob
Guest Dr. Odyssey Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Can you use it as a filler too since its got a hardener? The primer I mean. Like spray on Bondo. Have you tried that?

John Teresi Posted February 25, 2012 Author Posted February 25, 2012 Hello.......I airbrushed H.O.K. gold base.......masked of the panels ......and shot H.O.K. kandy apple red.......I don`t know how to make decals so I hand painted the graphics on the tank and fender with Apple Barrel acrylic paint......I will add black shading around the edges........they were hand painted on the real bike anyway....... and then I airbrushed the graphics on the rear....... I will clean up all the edges....... then I will give it a clear coat today and tomorrow I will airbrush the graphics on the panels.......thanks for looking.
crazyjim Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 No way!! Holy cow does that look fantastic, John.
James Flowers Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 Nice work on the free hand painting. Just plain great work on all of it.
Harry P. Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 That paint and all the freehand stuff... wow!
Da_Wolfman Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 OK John, NEWBIE question...What exactly is your process for "cleaning up the lines?" Beautiful work by the way! I think I have found a mentor!! Thanks for sharing!
Greg Wann Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 Very nice work as usual, John. You are welcome with the bubble top help.
Dr. Cranky Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 Outstanding, John. :o :o Super paint job, and the colors are so beautiful.
Scott Colmer Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 SImply incredible, John. Your skills are off the chart, Scott
curt raitz Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 Hello.......I airbrushed H.O.K. gold base.......masked of the panels ......and shot H.O.K. kandy apple red.......I don`t know how to make decals so I hand painted the graphics on the tank and fender with Apple Barrel acrylic paint..... Say it ain't so John...decals are easy but when you can hand paint the graphics as well as you did - who needs decals great job and enjoyed talkin' to ya at the NNL West
Cool Hand Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Really starting to look like the 1:1 now John. Excellent work and the paint job is tops.
W-409 Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 WOW, paintjob looks sweet so far! You've always amazed me with those crazy paint jobs, they are cool. Shiny and smooth, maskings are done very nicely and there's no need for removing paint, which is typical for me.
