Actually C that will be pretty close to the date of "total" completion I bet, parts should be done I'm guessing mid next week (3 coats plus clear), then about a week to cure a bit, then a couple days for install... I think St. Pattys day is 3/17 right?

Yep, I think I hear it too, the "Go Green" cheerleaders are getting ready...

God bless Brazil! And God bless those underpanties that leave very little to the imagination!

And finally, God bless "Gawdammit" green! Amen!

I LOVE THE GREEN! IF LOVING THE GREEN IS WRONG, I DON'T WANT TO BE RIGHT.

I just got home from the painter, I got to look through all the pieces and I must say I am very pleased with the quality of work in the prep stage. Keep in mind that all of these body parts were scratched parts that I sourced off the forums and ebay (with the exception of my Corbin smuggler and Kawi 47 trunk lid). Looking at all the parts very close up I can't even tell where any of the scratches were at all!

The worst scratch was on one of the side case lids, looked like it was keyed before, they did such a good job that I couldn't even remember which side case lid it was on...

This is the said side case lid scratch I'm referring to, very deep scratch before indeed.

I was hoping to see some green on the parts tonight but I guess they wanted to sand and primer one more time before paint being applied, which is fine by me, quality before timeline I told em!

So by the time this is done all the parts will have been sprayed 8 times!

Yep... One coat of sealer, 2 coats of primer, 2 coats of green, 1 coat of "Golden Blaze" pearl, and 2 coats of clear.

So for now I guess I just get to wait a bit more, sounds like everything should be ready to pick up by the end of next week...

They plan on spraying green this weekend but I won't have pics emailed to me until Monday because the front office is closed on the weekends, but once I have em I'll be sure to post em up for y'all!

Until then, these are the only green body pic's ya get from me tonight.

That was a winter gal up north saying "summer is coming". Here is how my friends dress here around south FL in the winter, we sometimes even forgive squidly =)

Can we leave my northern gal pic up till your bike is green, or at least the parts!?

Only until I post up green body pics, which should be tomorrow, then please delete that, thanks bro. I just don't want that nasty cow on this thread (that will hopefull be seen for ever, or at least until the next crash

...)

I do like the last pics you posted though bro, that's more what this thread is about, beauty!
