Thank you Fox.
The whole blasting process took me about one hour, though i used at least half an hour cleaning the bottom case (as i mentioned earlier i didn't get my gear shaft out) The glass really gets in anywhere.
Brake cleaner and compressed air are my new best friends
I guess blasting the cases, cylinders and head took aprox 30 min, and this was my first time.
About color scheme I was looking to go for gold on black, but since there is no one who does "gold" platting, or brass platting, the only alternative was 24k gold!!! I had to tell the guy who told me this that i intend to drive the bike, not having at as an ornament in the living room
Anyway, the engine gets classic black 800 degrees Celsius Matt paint, and the cover all get polished. about the rest i have to come up with something clever, it's going to be black, but the details... i have seen this chrome paint somethimes, never tried it.. maybe chrome pinstriping.. ??
I got this thread, i'll be posting stuff on there everytime i do something new
