Hawk GT Paintwork

OK so let's get this out of the way right off the hop: painting is expensive. Like REALLY expensive. But it was really necessary to have paint done on the Hawk GT because it was a multi-coloured mess.

Not only are the materials expensive, but it takes time to do bodywork, especially on 30-year-old fiberglass like this Two Brothers Racing fairing. But just look at the result - fantastic.

The gold pinstripes between the colour blocks will be added with tape.

It took a bit of figuring to work out how the lines would work on the tank but I think we got it.

Next thing is to get the bodywork on the bike and apply some more decals. You should see the seat unit, the red looks really good. Fingers crossed that all of the assembly goes smoothly.
