Kev
You seem to have cracked it with those decals mate see a lot too near the edge and you have also overlapped the ends which is spot on to original 8-)
Great job ;)

The dreaded solvent pop :(

I left the colour coat 24 hours but it clearly wasn't enough. the bubbles appeared on the final lacquer coat. How irritating.

Strip back and start again Kev

Cheered myself up a bit by striping up the tank for my daily rider

I managed it without tripping over my own feet and head butting the tank or strangling myself with the tape set so a bit of skills progress :roll:

I've mixed a slightly darker colour than Candy Gypsy Red for a change
