Glorious CBR1100XX Blackbird #3 - Painting

The project on the CBR1100XX Blackbird is well on its way. This is perhaps the most challenging part, and not to be recommended to be done yourself, painting of the fairings. A spraybooth was constructed with ventilation, and a spraygun with compressor used to lay the paint. With so many various details and layers, the whole process took over a month. Separately, basically all the aluminium parts were removed, cleaned and sent to a powdercoating shop to be painted. So many things can go wrong in this.

There are several more videos coming on interesting details, components and steps of this project, and riding videos, so SUBSCRIBE!
