The bike was painted with acrylic spraypaint from a local auto store (Super Cheap Auto). Surfaces were cleaned and lightly sanded first.
The engine and forks were primed with an SLS self etching primer. The forks were then painted with the Black acrylic spray paint and the engine and exhaust were painted with engine enamel.
Painters tape was used to mask surfaces that needed marking. The lines on the bike were achieved using the masking tape. The tank and side covers were paitned balck first. The tank was then painted red, then white. The side covers were painted white, then red in order to achieve a narrower red stripe with the same masking tape used for all other surfaces. These surfaces were then covered in a clear coat.
All sprayed surfaces received 3-5 coats of paint in each colour used for that surface (red/black/white/clear)
The rear 'top box' was purchased from a local hardware store and mounted with bolts, nuts, and washers. I considered painting the top of the box red and the clips black but have opted to leave this for later for the time being.
The original seat cover had ripped at two stress points (common on these bikes and the GN125).
