This time, following the last cowling modification, we processed the gasoline tank. The first step is to remove the paint on the gas tank.
Pour zinc paint to prevent the gas tank from rusting.
A special solvent is used to remove the paint.
The paint will peel off immediately, so scrape it off with a scraper.
After removing all the paint, put putty on the dented part and scrape it off. Also fill in the dent where the Honda emblem will be attached and flatten it. After that, spray the surfacer.
This is the compressor I use all the time.
This is the spray gun I use all the time.
Other painting tools.
And the important thing is this painting mask.
I sprayed the surfacer.
There were still many dents, so I added putty again and scraped it off.
Next, make the side covers.
Strip the original paint.
The side cover of “CM400E” had strong paint and was hard to scrape off.
In order to bring the corners of the cowling closer to the ideal shape, we made modifications until we were satisfied.
Dig the edge with a chisel and paste the plating molding for automobiles on the edge.
It’s an ideal shape.
Spray the surfacer again.
Clean up. Don’t you think it’s close to the image of “Purple Rain”?
