My drag bike “Roxanne” had a very old but nice looking paint job.
I said that when we made it to 5.60et I’d give her a new wardrobe. She must have wanted it bad, she went 5.49.
As I started sanding I found many many layers of paint. It looked like the last paint job was started and then they decided to “skim” it with bondo. Not only making it very heavy, it covered a lot of deep cracking in the original paint.
I probably put 20+ hours in prep on this body. I was super worried there would still be cracks and all.
Then I started spraying, I used medium reducer, which in this weather was too slow. I had numerous runs… it’s taken me all night to work out the runs (like 7hours)
But in the end it’s really looking great!
