thnx everyone...i thought it was a shit job Razz.the reason why i wanted to use rattle cans is to prove everyone that we can get an acceptable quality out of them if we work in the right way...most of the guys even don't believe that it's cans Very Happy...oh yeah about the 20 cans...hehehe.....actually what happened was that i wasn't planning to repair any of the the cracked fairings cux i ddnt have much budget allocated to the bike at the time.so i didn't buy putty which is sold here minimum 1KG of sickens putty Sad...anywax the finish was far worse than i assumed...so i had to sit back with the sand paper and water bucket Very Happy..total 6 days of work and the 7th day of assembly...quite happy with the old critter Very Happy next to that is my dad's NX125 Smile it's my old man who brought that bike to my interest...too bad we don't have any off road place to ride here Very Happy..hehehe...all in all..total cost for the paint??? 55USD Razz

all ideas and comments welcome on the paint job since i have decided to take the bike totally apart and repaint it in a few months Very Happy
