Jenn working on her 1984 xl200r

update- 7/18

so Jenn was here yesterday to work on her bike remodel- :)





She primed and painted black- a lot of parts -(foot pegs- clutch lever - ect- as she decided the frame will be black in contrast to the OEM 1957 Chevy Surf Green she wants the fenders- tank - and side panels to be.
I had also thought some black spoke covers would look cool (as cleaning up the chrome spokes wasn't great) butt it proved to not work out - as the hub meeting the spokes left them not fitting nicely.
She gave it a valient / persistent/ try to get them to work out tho.


jenn putting black spoke covers on

the hub is preventing the (split down middle) straw like covers from closing and covering bottoms of spokes.
 ...our paint booth

parts are hanging on baling wires - hooked at bottom of wire - looped at the top of box

you can twist/turn/ the wire at top of box to spin the part as you paint
removing parts from bike like foot pegs - clutch lever - brake lever - kick starter - muffler parts ect to clean - prime and paint.
About 3 coats gets them covered well.
