Painting motorcycle professionally! part2 guide to painting techniques - MotoGuzzi Mk1 PART6.2 

Wauw, that was a lot of work! nice to have al that cool hardware to work with. Beautiful results and great tips along the way

Impressive paint finish! If memory serves me right, I knew these bikes when they were new, the paint finish was never that good when they left the factory!

I’ve seen many bike restoration videos and you are the best!

Lots of patience required but an rewarding result! well done!

Beautiful

The finish is unreal! The bike is going to look amazing when complete 👌🏼

Just awsome finish 🙂👍

What a lovely end result! Thank you for the interesting and informative videos.

Wow. That has to be better than factory finish. An enormous amount of work and it looks so good.

Came to see restoration on the VFRs. Subscribed and can't wait for the next project you and your incredible crew will do next. Thank you for all the videos.

Nice job, mate! When I painted the Bikini-fairing of my LM3, I finally went with laserprojecting the outlines of the daylight-panel on the front. I wanted it to look straight from front and nicely curved from the side. I recognized to achieve this, you must not allign with the windscreen. Curving the tape by eye onlyw as a real pain in the ass. Please go on and make me happy with the final result. Greetings from germany _Stefan

wish i had your shop.

Fantastic work

I bought a new LeMans back in the day, and I can assure you that the factory finish was nothing like as spectacular as your fantastic effort! I will be very interested to see how the exhaust finish holds up....................mine went rusty within the first week!

That looks amazing. I just did a rattle can paint job on an old Triumph tank. It was my first attempt at painting and I feel like it turned out pretty good. I didn't try to wet sand the paint even though there was some texture (orange peel) in it. I thought I could get rid of the texture after adding the 2K clear and then wet sanding and polishing. I got rid of a lot of it but I didn't know how much I could sand and buff without breaking through the clear coat layer, so there's places that could be better, but I left them alone. I was worried I'd get to the end of the project and ruin it by buffing or sanding too much. I might go back for another round of wet sand and polishing at some point in the future.

GREAT JOB. WHAT IT'S COLOR RED?

Hi, Have you posted the final assembly video yet

How did you position the edge of the black/red on the fuel tank? You applied the blue tape, but did you just free hand this edge or did you place the tape based on a measurement from some reference point?

I was not impressed with the paint on my new series two 1978 Le Mans because it seemed to have a bit of orange in it. Had it redone with a deep glossy Italian red and it looks way better now. I do not miss the fluorescent orange on the front of the bikini fairing. The repaint may reduce the resale value but I don’t intend to sell the bike any time soon and I’m 73 years old.
