    The JB weld at the transition point is a great idea! My bike's paint bubbled after I painted it cause gas got underneath. I'm gonna try that.

    Looks great. I haven’t tried the jb weld trick. I always tape off my filler, tape off where the cap sits. That way your clear will seal up on the neck and fuel can’t get under it.

    Thanks, great video. I recommend everyone to try painting - it`s fun and you will never stop painting. But be aware that you have to try a few times before you get hobby skills. I have spray painted a hole bike with prime, 2-component white and 2-component clearcote - all in spraycans. Worked great but you must sand it and polish it to get that gloss finish.

Im going to go with some Rustoleum Custom - Matte Pearl white followed by some SprayMax 2K clear. Question, what differences in application will I encounter between the fiberglass body parts, and the metal gas tank? Thks!
