1972 Checkmate MX-15 Rebuild

I got the Snow White top coat paint in. The fairing is pretty much done, just have to re-tape everything again. I guess I'll get off my azz and shoot it this weekend, weather permitting.

So after week of rain, I was finally able to spray her. still got to go back out there and pull the tape, but it came out good.







Couple of runs where the back seat bolsters will be attached on the inside corner, but fine.

Thanks Micky, I found a few more runs while pulling the tape, Ill have to wet sand and buff those out when it cures. I didn't have a fast reducer on hand for the temps today, so it's slow to dry. Hoping to start the accent stripes next week.
