Think this is what you mean Diagram 1 Pyro directional aperture Diagram 2 Weather balloon escaping on a windy day
Image 1 is what I've done Take another look mate and this time turn your hearing aids on Image 2 will look like an escaping weather balloon when I'm pulling a Max Biaggi wheelie
DAMN/BUGGER/BLAST Got to work this morning and got the sprocket cover out Looking really good Until I started handling it The paint I applied is flaking off on all the parts that I filed and sanded Didn't use a primer and don't know if it needed an acid etch or something Gonna take it to a paint shop around the corner and get him to do it....have used him before and know he does a good job My new tyres keep getting pushed back down the list..,,bloody bike
Here's one marra, not used them know nothing of them but maybe worth a phone call or pop over to discuss figures, https://www.yell.com/biz/paint-and-powder-coating-washington-8797515/
Could be worth popping over with it and having a word, as DD says they may take a look at it and then of you, - and do it for next to nowt. Put on your B.P.O.S. face lol xx
On bare metal you'll need to acid etch it first, even just priming would have been better than nowt, but acid etch stuff is the way to go, especially with aluminium. Used it on the MG when I repainted the front crossmember, and when we resprayed the car, if we had gone through to metal, etched it first before putting on primer. U-POL is good stuff, but it ain't cheap for a one off job. I usually keep a stock in of primer and satin blacks etc. @Dozers Dad - as there is no heat joining and only hand tools, and in light of the poor finish - C+ is the best he's getting !!!!
Cant be sure mate - there both wet noser's, cant see any legs on either picture. both would deter burglar's, I'll go with the better looking one. Any Help ?
