Redmater: Yup, Base coat, Clear coat. "NEXA Autocolor 2K" by PPG cause I'm too cheap to go to the place that sells the Dupont products.
A Better Day
Here's some more pics. Had a much better day today. Sanded my runs out last night. Shot a couple more color coats to even things up, and put the clear on. Keep in mind this is my first ever paint job that didn't come out of a rattle can, so no nit-picking.
1: Sanded out and re-colored.
2: Red Yamaha saddleless ski handle sitting next to hood.
3: Look, it's glossy
4: More Glossy
5: Red ski and handle beside glossy hood.

Thanks, and yes, for my first job and my "no draft" booth I like how it turned out.
Yamyrider: Thanks

Thanks. Basically, powder coated red rear suspension except for white w-arm/rear arms and transfer rods. I want to change the wheels but may try painting them. The front suspension will be Red except for the springs and steering arms. Dash and mirrors will be painted white. There's a red Yamaha seat going on as well.

No kidding!!! Nope, the ski loops are factory Yamaha red. Brand spanking new.

Thanks Mater!!
you bet
Today is Powder White Day
Got my first batch of powder coating back today. Hood screens and front springs. Dude said the screens would cost $40 CAN plus shipping to do. He can work deals where the springs would be an additional $10 on top of the screens if you sent them at the same time. www.sespowdercoating.com
Anyway, I have some pics.

What does everyone think about the white mirrors??? I'm not sure I did the right thing in painting them white.
Any votes for White, Black or Red???

the mirrors stand out too much in white. I would go the red/orange. And as someone suggested get a diferent windy or cut yours down.
You are doing an A+ job. Can't wait to see more.

here is a thought,put the red maple leaf on the leading side of the mirror in the same color red

that is a great idea, the white alone is a bit much but the leafs would set it all off perfectly.
great idea mater.

i think that the sled looks awesome. great to see someone doing a conversion from a two up to a more aggressive looking sled. my uncle has a venture with 11,000 miles on it and it is still running strong. i love the colors but i think that the mirrors should go and that the windshield should be cut down to barely cover the guage pod, and painted white. Then you can get white hand guards and a riser block. If you really want mirrors i saw some guys mounting small ones on the back side of their hand guards. It is a lot sleeker and the handguards work great. Just my opinion though, keep us posted it is looking great...
