    Notice the Rim buffing ?






    That is actually Black Paint with Blue pigment Lacquer.



    Chromed Screws











    This Mirror broke during our Munnar trip return, have re made it & put a chetak bleeding, the bleeding makes it look better than the original mirror !!



    Tank Sticker, I messed up the front fork stickers, didint know we have to not only cut the holes but also the are under the clamps that sit on it, so after tightning the handle bar the sticker just tore to pieces & I had to remove that.





    Had to remove the parts Again to Base paint the chassis, Dupont paint with bright silver & then 3 coats of Lacquer
    Now No rust hat had started forming in the joints.



    Covering & Masking other parts before paint



    Painting the base with a spray gun that needs a air compresses to be brought home







    Finish after base coat







    My Brother Shiva a.k.a Sony & My Cousin Raju a.k.a Rajesh, Raju really helped me put it together Thanks A Ton Pal.



    Finish after painted











    Got the Stickers don before Lackur so they stay in there.



    XBHP is Famous Man, they had the logo ready I only had to select it no need to explain & custom make as before Huraaaa..





    lacquered Engine














    Cheers
    Sunil

                  Great job there, sunil sir!

                  One question though... pardon my ignorance (if it is a default setting in comet). What is the purpose of that steel rod in the below picture?

                            Looks like high quality work. Just that the red discs and red chain cover make it look too flashy
