Default I Went Crazy With The Rattle Can Today

Spent some quality time with the '77 the past couple days. After successfully replacing the bad starter yesterday, I went crazy with the rattle can today.

First I pulled the grills... cleaned them up and blasted them in flat black.


Next onto the bumperettes. You can see how horrible they looked.


Light sanding...


Masking...


This is the paint I used...




Not perfect, but much better than they were...


While I was at it... I pulled the lower fairing and sprayed it too.


I did the back bumpertettes too, but here's a pic of the front end. Overall, a big improvement I think.
