Been out giving everything a light rub down with 600 grade. I couldn't find any 1200 :( Done a little more degreasing on the engine and now waiting for the midday Sun to pass before going out an applying the final coat of paint.

Here's my bike LOL

And I have finished the final coat of paint on everything. Mixed a bit too much so painted a couple of extras as to not waste the paint.

I'm looking forward to the rebuild, but weather forecast is crap for the rest of the week. :(

Oh yeh, I know that looks sh1t but the rest is pukka. I had some paint left over and didn't want to waste it so slapped it on the tank real thick to get of of it. The frame and everything does have a slight brushed look to it, but is no worse than Orange peel you get when spraying. If I want it perfectly smooth and I can be bothered it would polish up smooth.
