Off to paint

[paul1478]

I have been wanting to paint by 76 400 from the day I got it but never was what I wanted in terms of performance. After that was all fixed by Chuck.
I was looking for graphics I liked. Stock are nice but I always liked that 70s yellow/black.
Chuck was able to design/have made some graphics I really like a lot. The tank, side covers and graphics are at the painters as of this morning. 
can't wait for the results.

Can't wait to see the results

strange how 4-5 days always turns out to be more like 4-5 weeks...
stopped by Friday to see the tank as last Monday it was going into the paint booth Wednesday.
well it was in the paint booth ok...on the ground. Not going to ride but just want to see what it looked like. Maybe next week it will be done.

Gonna look sharp Paul!

I just picked my tank and side covers up.
The guy fed up the graphics said it was not his fault. I gave him the person who made them phone number. Took him 5 days to call him and was told 3 weeks ago new graphics on the way. When I call him last week he said he had never received them.
So I called the graphics guy. He did not send them because the painter was going to send info about why he thought they were bad.
So
He obviously never paid they guy or even gave an address to send them to. I wonder how he thought they would arrive. Maybe he thought Santa was going to bring them.

I also think the color is off by quite a bit.
Back to the drawing board.

Gees sorry to hear that.

Hopefully you can find a competent painter that will do a good job.

sore spot..
Yes I found someone who had painted many bikes. Has what looks to be a busy shop. I am waiting on replacement graphics now. Some issues getting them printed but they guy printing them is a friend of Chucks so I am sure they will be done asap and perfect.
Weather has been great and I have been riding 4-5 days a week but my RD sits naked all alone and lonely. This is by far the longest I have went after the rebuild without riding it.
Hoping 2 weeks... I should have removed the chrome and had it redone. Had I know it was going to take this long I would have.

[paul1478]

Well I am getting close. Painted graphics on and clear today.  I hope to have it tomorrow so I can get it together Sunday. I have to leave to Pittsburg Friday-Sunday morning. I miss riding it.

Looks good, Paul!

I'll see you around town over the weekend!

[Evans Ward]

I'm diggin that Paul!  Can't wait to admire it at the Gap in 67 days.

[SoCal250]

Looks great Paul! I like it

[paul1478]

Thanks guys! Chucks guy did the graphics. I think he can get more if you ask him if anyone would be interested. I really do like them.

67 days to the gap.., wow, I already took the week off. Last time 2 bikes broke I am hoping for 2 less breaking this time...

Paul your paint and graphics look great, I am glad to see you have success after the last snafu paint deal. I am considering using the same graphics so it is great to see them applied.
