now one of the errors I made in the original painting of the wheel is I used the color green as embarrassing because I should know better I've done this already made the mistake of making it the same color as the bike the metallic color well when I put the whole bike together I really didn't like the look the metallic color doesn't show up as much as a color that's nonmetallic and if you look in the Sun at a metallic color and a non metallic I'll take a red and a metallic red they look totally different that the shape changes the contrast changes so what I did first I'll always admit you're wrong I went down look at his paint it's all on my glove already went down to Gavin's and bought a half a pint of the other color green that I had what I had done is taken a piece of the old wheel striping tape just to see if I liked it showed it to a bunch of people everybody liked it so now what I'm gonna do is paint that stripe on and when I change the back wheel next time we change your tire or maybe if it snows or whatever I'll just do it and that'll be the end of it but anyway we've got this primed and I just thought I'd share this because what this is going to allow me to do is just put a piece of eighth inch tape right along the edge and we'll have no tape it'll be all paint covered we're clear buffed out now I know what color like this is going to take at least three coats so there's no point no point pretending we're going to do it in one coat I see that and boy having this real balance in it let's get funky the credit for for donating that it has really served us well now what I'll do is I'll put one coat on wait about 15 minutes put another coat on but it'll ultimately get three coats because I want this real strength to be super bright and it really is a problem it's embarrassing because it's something from my years of design and paintwork I should know better to get that contrasting color but but it's more important that in the end we have this right now that black wheel to redo it a stripe on it and put a little more clear when I'm doing a tire change with me much at all and this may be the most expensive wheel stripe in the world because I had a blyat fine a pain Oh let me just if the deal with our antique tripod here having that wheel mount that is so so convenient the prime I sanded out the prime reprime dit we've done a really good job of cleaning this wheel up and all of this area inside there shows it's unbelievable now because it's a rainy day you really can't paint any clear or anything I thought I could get that done I want to show something because these are little things you make mistakes you think you learn from your mistakes and in my case sometimes you don't let me just turn a light on here now if you look at the Rd wheels that yellow contrasts nice with the black if you look at the r-1 wheels and you almost can't see it it's too dark of a color so when we do the r1 wheels which I was thinking of making them MV Agusta silver that's some future time here's the wheel what that's gonna replace no stripe at all button in the back and let me kind of wiggle back here and show this this the metallic color look at a metallic color anytime you have metallic it's bright here down here it's not so bright right well that's what happens with the wheel stripe when you put the bike out into some look you almost can't see it I mean it's the air and everything but I was disappointed anyway I will not be disappointed again and I was thinking next time we do a tire change on Rob's bike I'd put some kind of a wheel stripe I'll see what he likes on that anyway you would think I would know better confession is good for the soul but again some of the little projects we've had recently these mirrors Wow Kalon if you only see do well he's gonna see him tomorrow in real life they really look great I and they work boy that is so such a unique thing mirrors that work but sooner or later we're going to have that wheel in black with the real green stripe on it I think it's really gonna look outstanding and again with this wheel so you see in here and I never realized when I did that wheel I sanded all this and I did all this work on us but I never noticed you see in there it's it's like a mistake on my part and very soon we're gonna be starting on and this will be interesting to glens track bike which I'm sure he's going to be doing some kind of a tribute to Larry the Tori - and we've been saving up all our old wheels and tires and who knows what the cushions are drying everything is drying out here two Ferraris are drying but boy it's a gloomy day I really wish we could have painted some clear today just not happening and it's boat actually was supposed to rain all day today that's the other point of this see when you don't have us you don't have a spray booth you got to work around the weather well if you look at it from here you'll see that stripe I think will be just right it'll be bright enough actually that stripe might look that color stripe might look good on the r1 I don't know well we don't know anyway that thing about metallic and nonmetallic paints that's a significant thing and I paid the price for making that mistake
