[02Gsxxr]

So i stated when i introduced my self i had a little accident the other day where a couple of my fairings cracked and received sum road rash.. well idk today i got a bug up my ass about re-doin the whole bike so i ran out to my local home depot, pep boys, and walmart for a few items

and my work begins to repaint my bike. My friend and I began the process of sanding and filling in any cracks and any imperfections with plastic bondo.. gotta wait till tomorrow before i can re-sand and begin the priming but here's are progress so far

idk if am going to yet but the white has been an very good idea

[vabarber2]

Na, it'd look better if you went with the same color as the rims for the rail! What ever color you end up with those (cuz at one time you said something about changing it)

[ceo012384]

So in the photos it looks like a real paint job... but in person if you look close can you tell it's rattlecanned? Or is the surface rough at all?

In the pics it looks minty fresh.
