Tins are Finished

After waiting 4 days for the paint to set up, today I decided to get the color sanding and buffing completed.  It was tough to take sandpaper to my carefully finished tank and fender.  They were already shiny but, after reading several web sites about finishing motorcycle parts, I was finally convinced to start wet sanding and trust the process.  I started with the tank and was not disappointed with the results.  The fender was next and, although it took most of the day, all the web sites were right...sanding until the parts felt like glass then buffing with a cutting compound made everything sparkle.  Once the dash and fender trim have been chromed and installed, the finished product should be great.
