Today I taped off the panels and sprayed the red. The red that Yamaha typically used was a very bright red so spraying it over the white keeps it nice and bright. Lots of taping- it’s very important to get everything completely covered because any slight mist or overspray on the white will show up instantly when the parts are cleared. Next, we will remount the the panels on the bike and layout the stripes for the blue parts.
