Yamaha Bolt - Time for Paint!

This is both the fun and frightening part of a build. At some point I have to stop tweaking it and hand it off and that's pretty spooky. Really excited to see it get some color, though.

Dropped the fender and tank off at Paint By Smokey. This guy has a long history of making my stuff not suck. Thanks Smokey!  http://paintbysmokey.com/



Picked a burnt orange metallic. Reminiscent of an early seventies Yamaha DT, with a metallic flavor to it. Super spendy, but in love with the shade and have never built anything that was orange. 




Smokey taking care of business. 



Seam from the 3" of center removal is pretty obvious. Sorry Smokey. 



Oh man, that seems like a lot of bondo. Love getting update pics from my painter, but this one is a bit spooky. 


Oh... Now that seems a lot better.
