White House K10 - a story of regeneration

[Ninemeister_imp]

When it came to the stripe, Mike had his say and replicated the black on gold of the original white tank, with the gold selected to complement the colour of the wheels. In hindsight the black stripe is probably more balanced on my bike due to additional black of the 2014 engine, so I'm going to go with it as it will probably grow on me.

Base coat stripes done, it was lacquer time. We shot three coats of clear coat over a 2 week period, two initial coats followed by a full flat down prior to the last "flow" coat. This process built up the depth enough to "lose" the thickness variation of the base coat on the stripes when flatting off, hence once polished the final coat shows no edge to the stripe.

Painting. Done.
