Got my new engine cowl painted high gloss black, but now it looks so good, it makes the rest of the paint job look pretty shabby up close. I am hoping the paint shop can match the burgundy paint color, so I can get a can of it to touch up all the nicks and scratches before the big show "Monsters of Scoots" in San Jose at the end of the month.

Some things I would like to get done before the show on Friday. Paint the front fender and horn cover gloss black to match cowls, polish all the metal and alloy parts, replace tail light. if it looks good enough I may enter it in the show.

Well, I did it! I stayed late last night and painted the rest of my scooter. A nice semi metallic dark red/burgundy color. I rubbed the paint out, washed it, and then reassembled it today. I am just doing a few finishing touches before pushing off for the whale building. The ride leaves in about an hour! a bunch of us are riding down to San Jose. I am just going over my stuff and packing my tool bag with some spare parts. extra cables and spark plugs, stuff like that. Also double checking my luggage.
