Framing
We pressure washed the frame, then covered it in epoxy primer followed by filler primer. Finally, we gave it a healthy dose of wet sanding and black frame paint!
Before painting, we fitted our new gas tank and drilled its mounting holes.
Epoxy primer!
We decided to go over the frame with filler primer to remove this rough texture from the steel.
Lots of wet sanding required!
Ready for black paint! We tested the black paint by the gas tank mounting rails before spraying the whole frame.
Black paint! We are going to give it one more coat for durability and to repair several small imperfections.
