Paint, what a novel idea! I can sympathize, with anyone who has painted a motorcycle frame and found it a challenge. It is bad enough when it is in black. Try it in yellow. Thought I was going blind! So anyway, I did the filler with weld and grinding and a small amount of plastic filler to make smooth. All the prep time pays off when you want it to look nice.
At first I painted the frame black, then decided to make it yellow. Why? because stock is black, and this bike is not stock, so yellow it is. I also put ghost flames on the faux tank, just 'cause. They are very subtle, and just what I wanted. Not real hard to do either.
As luck would have it, I have a hard time with this software, is difficult to layout the way I want it. Must be a generational thing. Although the pictures are in reverse order, they get the point across. First the frame was black, now it is yellow.
Jeez painting it yellow has got to be suicide. What type of gun do you have? I had a hard enough time painting my buddy's CB750 frame black with my hvlp gun.
