Re: UPDATE! Painting is well underway, I'm liking the blue.
Paint sure looks beautiful. I wish I could do that.
Whatever I suggest here should be given ample time for a moderator to delicately correct. I apologize in advance.

Re: UPDATE! Painting is Done! Now wet sand and buff. Looks g
Thanks, here's some pix of the body work buffed out. I got al but the fenders buffed as I ran out of 3m Imperial Hand Glaze.
Here is the side panel on the bike. I have to wait a couple days for the clear to really set.

That's the nicest paint scheme I've ever seen on this form...in my opinion.
Great work, gotta see it finished!

Re: UPDATE! Painting is Done! Now wet sand and buff. Looks g
It takes a brave man to take an already nice Goldwing, and to then have the vision to make it something really special. That's what you've done with this bike. I've seen so many "odd-jobs', and yet this one looks so thought out and so well executed. It's truly a beautiful bike.

That's a beautiful combination of colors, and nicely executed.

I have worked in an auto color store for 40 years, that is one of the nicest jobs i have seen! Really like the color combination, great vision.

Re: UPDATE! Painting is Done! Now wet sand and buff. Looks g
I still have the original bodywork and fenders too. This winter I'll paint the body work in original yellow scheme with a twist on the actual colors. It will look stock, but a discerning eye will pick up the subtle changes.nvr2old wrote:It takes a brave man to take an already nice Goldwing, and to then have the vision to make it something really special.

That's a really nice looking paint job.
I'm painting my '78. While I envision something like what's been done here mines looking more like Homer Simpsons Barbeque. If nothing else I've learned that I'm really a crappy painter.
