Presidential Detailed: 2004 Triumph Daytona Valmoto Replica

[Presidential_Detail]

Got started on this one a bit later than I planned, I forgot my camera which was 40 minutes away from the customers house....well, I decided I couldn't live without it so I turned around and got it. I arrived at the the customers house, we went over what we wanted to accomplish and I got started. Get the camera out of the bag, and go to snap the fist shot....hmmm...NO MEMORY CARD!!! Well, lucky enough for me the customer offered to let me borrow his, so I was able to get some pictures of this thing! Did I mention this is the FIRST bike I have EVER detailed??? Let alone, on a bike that has over 250 of custom airbrush work!! This bike has over 17 layers of paint in certain areas!! Every sticker you see on the bike is in reality airbrushed!

Ill let you be the judge on how I did..

I started the before pictures half way into wash(doh!)




























Some action shots, letting a little P21S TAW soak in..




Taping off the lights, black trim and seats.


My signature, I think this one looks kinda like a wasp!








A little polishing action, gotta have some buffer control on this thing!






And weird angles...


Had to tape off certain sections to polish others to ensure no scratches or burns from the buffer itself..

AFTERS:

We pulled it back in the sun to let the real beauty of the bike come out!
