XS650 Special

I blasted, body worked and painted the front fender, and repainted the rear fender and tail light bracket. This is Dupli-Color 'aluminum' engine paint.

I bought a fender mount kit from ebay seller motodad24. His parts are big time and money savers for sure compared to trying to source this all individually.


I'm using Spray Max 2k clear on the painted parts.


I was able to make the decals work for the side covers.




The badges on the CT1 tank are in decent shape, other than needing repainted.


I've used tape on delicate parts to remove paint before, so gave it a try on the badges. I used sticky masking tape, not the easy release painters tape, and it worked pretty good.


I then used Autosol to polish the front, and they are ready to paint.
