John18D 15 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) Griffo - what did you paint the exhaust cans with? is that the Mr. Color super metal "titanium" - looks like a chrome or plate aluminum? Thanks for the color codes on the bodywork Cheers John Edited September 23, 2020 by John18D Quote Link to post Share on other sites

John18D 15 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Thanks Griffo - I have that color at home I bought about 25 different pots of the LP paints from Taiwan off eBay but they doubled the price so for now I won't get anymore. One of these days they should get the LP paints here in the USA - We have stupid laws that require the paints have warning labels on them so because of that most of the Japanese paints do not make it here to the USA via the manufacturer - Cheers John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Griffo_Aus 8 Posted September 24, 2020 Author Share Posted September 24, 2020 I use the LP paints almost exclusively now - their metallic colours are truly spectacular and very tough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Griffo_Aus 8 Posted September 30, 2020 Author Share Posted September 30, 2020 Aaaaanddd... we're done. Quite a few flaws, but I'm really happy with how this came out. That happy sad stage, build over and pleased, now need to decide which of the stash to work on next! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John18D 15 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Nice build Griffo Thanks for sharing it with the forum and answering all my questions. Helpful for when I get back to building and start my own 84' NSR500 You and Imster have a couple of nice ones. Cheers John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
