the ultimate klr finish

I'm already bored with it and plan to paint the tank again with my trusty airbrush....something really bizarre and difficult. Criswell On Jan 20, 2010, at 11:16 PM, Jeff Khoury wrote:

Oh, and I forgot to say, that's a fine job.  The tape stripes are nice and don't look gaudy.

I hated the teal green. I did buy some stuff at the local paint and body supplier called Bulldog adhesion promoter and some plastic cleaner. It has stuck pretty well but occasionally I have to touch it up. The tank I painted with regular car paint.

My clutch lever is bent.Brake lever and left mirror snapped off. With the flood of low quality "Made in China" parts, it's hard to find good replacements. Which suppler would have acceptable replacements?
