The last event was the nail in the coffin for the black paintwork. It does look cool in matt black, but it was only ever meant to be temporary, and there's quite simply far too many black bikes, you could say it's a bit oversubscribed. And anyway, one less will maybe help break the monotony?
The paint has been chosen and bought, it'll be similar'ish to last time really - suzuki white and blue but with a bit of red this time as well. The bodywork's been de-stickered, de fastenered, de-seated, cellulose putty'd and sanded down once again. We bought a spray gun a few months ago in readiness for painting but i worked out the cost of paint vs aerosols and it's cheaper to use aerosols, plus the cans come with rather good nozzles which can give a really good finish.
A couple of dry warm days and hopefully it'll be done, and this weekend looks promising weather wise but it'll not be happening, as a contingent of team bopchop is heading off to the main Event at Santa pod for a couple of days of European drag racing!
Maybe next weekend then ......
