First round on tail done, painting red on tank tomorrow.....
getting stripes on tank was not the easiest, but the worst is over now.

Tank will get clear coat tomorrow.....need to let the stripes air out before getting sealed up with clear.
Then I will let everything dry a week, then sand and reclear.
My headlight cowl needs some work, so I need to get that straightened out before my paint job goes much farther

Aren't they all solid red with the black at the rear, just like the one that's on there?
