We are moving along with the paint and after the pearl white, I painted the red. After the base red, I mixed a pearl top coat to give it the sparkle of the original color. On the factory bike, the red was painted on some panels like the tank and tail cap, and decals on other panels. It didn’t match all that well and the decals were not cleared over.
