👏🏼 great! How did you mask off the z50 tank to get the correct line for the red and silver paint.?

Thanks! Before restoring it, the tank was painted black over the original paint. When I stripped it down I took measurements and photos of where the line was. When it came to painting, after all the bodywork and epoxy primer was on I wet sanded it, then sprayed everything (including red parts) with the silver base coat (3 coats). After that was dry to the touch (I think maybe an hour) I laid the masking tape down to mask off what was to remain silver, then immediately laid down 3 coats of the red base coat over that. Immediately after the last coat, while it was still wet, I pulled the masking tape off the silver. Once the red was dry to the touch, I laid down a few coats of the clear top coat. That was all done one night after work, so it made for an extremely late and tiring night.

Stay tuned, a few more videos of this build coming out, each one week apart… then videos of the cr80, kv75, shadow, and more

I know nothing about bodywork, I've seen some primer before bondo, some not. Is one preferred?. Love the vid!

Thanks for watching and the compliment! I am fortunate enough to have had the experience working in a body shop part/full time from the age of 14 - 22, learning basically everything over the years working there. Best to strip completely down to bare steel and use filler as needed directly on the bare steel. After that, use a filler primer and block out again, then your epoxy primer/sealer… wet set with fin grit, then paint. If blasting something but not going to work on it right again, spray it with epoxy primer/sealer so that it doesn’t start oxidizing.
