Yamaha RZ500 Project- Part 5

Today I sprayed on the Polar White base coat and then 1 coat of clear so that while we are remounting the bodywork to lay out the graphics we don’t have to worry about getting dirt, fingerprints, etc on the white base. I will sand it all with 400 grit after it dries for a couple of days so that it is ready for the red and blue stripes after I tape it up and cut out the designs. One of the saving graces of this project is that it is a copy of an old race bike that only exists in the Yamaha museum- so there will never be a “real” one sitting next to it for comparison.
