That's amazing how mirrored that finish is from a rattle can...Top notch job as usual
Why thank you Sir, am quite happy with that result, it should dry out a nice rich satin finish!
It has to be said, but the quality of your work is exceptional. The paint work on them covers is something else. I'm loving these videos.
As someone who owns a 900 Thunderbird, these videos are just perfect, I'm keeping the lot for future reference. Whoever buys this bike is going to get one hell of a well sorted out bike. Brilliant. 👍🏍👍🏍👍🏍
Thank you very much kind Sir, it will have to be for sale in order to fund the next project, so we hope the new owner will appreciate it all. !
Kwel trick soaking the gasket and spray lube on engine gasket! For years I use paint scrapper , skillfully straight off.... I like your idea .. wish I thought of it years ago..... much easier on aluminum covers...Glassy finish!! 😎. ( there’s no captions on this video, takes good 24 hours for UA-cam put it on, but seeing what you’re doing). Awesome!!
Sorry about that Sir, it's important to us that everybody can enjoy the video, as you know we post every video with captions enabled, but like you say, the gods upstairs sometimes take a while to get them live, so we hope you can enjoy it in between, take care and have a great weekend! D&Px
Really nice! Thanks for the video
Thanks Richard. My pleasure!
Unreal how well that paint lays down. Well down sir!
Thank you buddy, fair amount of practice I guess!
Another great job Del, been using the same paint on one of my Busa's over the last few days, it really is great to pait with and has a great finnish too. I always previously used a etching primer before l'd apply a top coat, but you dont need it with this paint, thank you for recommending it to us all, and showing us how to get the best results by how you apply it. Thanks again Del 👍
Thanks Graham, most welcome Sir, 👍 Glad it has worked out for you so well... it is very easy to get good results aye.
Ninety Four Moto It's Simoniz Tough Paint !
@@Moonfleet41 It really is Del, 👌
Incredible finish what an amazing project step by step mechanical and video skills well done Del and Penny I love it when a new video comes out
Thank you buddy, that's very kind!
Nice work, Del and Penny!
Thanks John. Glad you enjoyed it!
Absolutely superb job, loving this series 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Pete. Glad you enjoy it!
I did my frame and front wheel with that paint so far on Delboys recommendation. It's brilliant stuff.Thanks mate.
You got a brand name or link you can share ?
@@frrs9268 simoniz black tough paint.
Wow nice job del
Thanks Pete, very kind of you!
The opening white board text is brilliant, it is the Present :)
Its looking good Del...think this is the best one yet mate
Thanks mate, that's very kind, im happy with that result for sure .
I have to say I really enjoy your videos,especially since I own one of these stump pullin machines! Also I really like the birds always singing in the background!
Thank you Mark, glad you're liking it, I only rode this for 1/2 day when we first acquired it, so really looking forward to some fun on it by the time the summer comes, we hope! Ride safe.
this is going to be some bike👍
Hope so mate!
Looks amazing. Like it’s coated in liquid.
Thank you Alan, happy with the result!
I’m dismayed that in such a well equipped workshop you still don’t use a decent ‘soft’ gasket scraper or tool to prise off engine covers. I know you know what you’re doing but you might have watchers born in the shallow end of the gene pool with the extra-clumsy chromosome who will end up gouging their mating surfaces.
Wow it's incredible what you can do with a spraycan Del👏
Good day mate,
If there was an OSCAR award for perfection and know how about bikes you my friend would be unbeatable.
Great job 👏
Why thank you most kindly Sir, very good of you, just loading up a few tricks to help out our fellow riders in the world!
Your rattle can skills are outstanding. I am getting better but this is a different class. How about a wee video on painting stuff and the process for a finish like that out a can.
Thank you Peter, that's very kind, that would be a good idea for a video maybe, just finding time to fit it in... enjoy your projects and remember, that 90% of paintwork is preparation before you even pick up the rattle can, 5% is practice and the other 5% is patience, put those together and you'll make a good result every time!
Looks Awesome 👌
Thank you Paul 👍, good to hear from you, hope you're keeping well there!
@@Moonfleet41 I am doing great 👍 March 16 2021 Just Bought My House 🏠 And Enjoy Every moment 😀
@@paulharast1958 Congratulations Paul, enjoy!
A day's work just to make perfect side covers go with the rest. You've got an immaculate eye, Del. And the patience to make the difference noticable.
Cheers from Nürnberg, Günter
Thank you so much Günter, it's all worth it later when you stand back and see the whole bike together.. 😀
coulden't have said it better myself totally agree
@@tomtilley8660 Thank you Tom, im happy with this result for sure.
8:29 - It was at this moment Del realised the fan was wired in reverse & that some swine, deranged by the love of weight saving only bare metal finishes can provide, had cunningly left a pile of little white chicken feathers in the ducting . . . don't worry though, it's only his jealousy.
(Strange but true, your lighting & close-up work lately - it almost looks better than I do : ) xx
Mint 👍
Nice one 👍⚙️🔩🔧✊
Tut tut sir I can remember getting a slap for using a steel blade on aluminium casings 😂😂stay safe bud
Aha as long as you do it carefully, it's fine! Big wide blade with a reasonably dull edge is way safer than the dreaded Stanley blade, that's just about the worse thing you can use aye?!
@@Moonfleet41 I agree sir but still got a slap 😂😂
Looking good Del, had any ideas on the paintwork???
Lot's of ideas mat,e just can't pick one..!
What kind of paint are you using ? Do you mind sharing the link? I got inspired by your videos and i purchased a 1999 thunderbird sport ! A long long way to go as she’s been neglected but hopefully your videos will help me get her back in shape. I am thinking of painting the wheels , fork assembly and engine covers with the same color. Did you apply the same color on all compartments ?
Hi there, don't have a direct link, the material is Simoniz 'Tough Paint', it comes in other colours and gloss as well as satin. It is a protective stone chip paint, formulated for cycle parts, bumpers and crash bars, so very flexible and durable... check out our other videos in this series, if you go to the Playlists on our Channel, open the TT Legend Playlist, then the whole series of this year long project is there, I've painted just about all the black parts in it and only the final bodywork will be in 2k paint... good luck with your project, have fun and enjoy the journey my friend.
Serviço magnífico parabéns pelo capricho e amor
Looking amazing 👍 Especially for a can job my friend! As far as I’ve seen I think you all are leaps n bounds ahead of us here in the States as for availability of quality rattle can paints.
Thanks Jimmy, i used some Rustoleum a while back and it was really very much the same as this.. came out thick, floated out well, and made really good job..
Is that nail polish remover your using
Yes mate.
Wow, this bike is going to look stunning when finished. Great job Del 👍🏍️
Thanks mate👍, am rather hoping so!
Amazing rattle can work, Del! BTW, was that a plug gapper tool you used in the disassembly? Was 80 degrees F here but dangerously windy, so we couldn’t take advantage of it for a ride out unfortunately. Hope you both are staying safe there! This nonsense has got to end soon... I think I’m going to do my own FRO vlog pretty soon.
🏍👍🏍
Hi Gary, it was a little plug gapper and it's the perfect dia. to seat snuggly in the cap slot without marring it, was conscious not to lean on it and twist the tool, but as you saw, it wasn't tight and just popped open, worst thing you can use is a screwdriver! We're fine here, still in lockdown but slowly restrictions will be lifting and life getting back to normal, guess we all just have to be patient aye?! Keep safe both, D&Px
@@Moonfleet41 Brilliant, my friend! Take care, both of you. 😎
i love you style of working and certainly also you style of filming !! because nobody ever says that , but i want to say that anyway ...respect your work every day
Thank you so much for your kind feedback, knowing it's noticed makes all the work worthwhile, so cheers!
All matching , looks great
That's really nice paint Del
It consistently gives you great results
Looking really nice
Thanks buddy, it is a good reliable product when your project needs good results for sure..
There is no secret ingredient
Top class finnish Del,,,,,, feed them birds there starving ....LOL
Naah, I'll just bring the cat down to the unit, she's been a bit bored lately!
Looks amazing like a mirror finish Delboy cannot wait to see it back on the bike hope have a good weekend .all the best Tony
Thanks Tony , you too sir, have a great weekend. !

Thank you Brother, You and me both, it should look pretty trick once it's all built back up. ! have a great weekend too.
Once again making it look easy.
Thank you Sir!
Lovely jubbly!!
Shinny! It's looks like a pieces of the Darth Vador's helmet!!!
Perfidy! Nice job on the paint (as usual!!). It's going to be another Del Boy triumph!!😣😏😂😂😂
Looks good !
Top job del look fab mate
I feel so much satisfaction looking at those parts freshly painted! 🙈😅😅
It's going to make the engine look like new great job del 👍
Thanks buddy, Hope so!
Great video del fantastic job unbelievable you can get a finish like that out of a spray can stay safe both of you looking forward to next video 🇬🇧👍
Thanks mate, lots of practice i guess.. 👍
Perfection
Great finish on those covers Del my man! You is king of the rattle cans! Keep 'em coming owd son
Thanks mate! Really appreciate your very kind words, Will do!
Loved that 'cocktail shaker' move 😀
Sooo satisfying to see the paint! Going to be interesting to see your approach to the tins. If warm weather is near, maybe some ride clips with some of these project bikes. Ride safe 🤙🏽
Yes indeed mate, after a year chained to the bench, and various degrees of different lockdowns, some road rides are well overdue, I've heard it's a wasteland out there.....
Yikes! Clearly taking off the engine cover far from the straightforward job it may seem. I'd hugely appreciate any good advice from experience from either the man himself or viewers on what I hope a relatively straightforward job. I've a mainly black Triumph Street Twin and in the November sale bought some parts on sale including black engine cover fasteners. These seems like a straightforward exchange BUT I noted from research including your specific time-lapse of screw removal order at 1:37 that there a VERY specific order in which the engine cover screws should be loosened and then removed. As I'm NOT actually removing the cover but just replacing the screws do I need to do so in the specific order? Anyone got a video of this being done (I couldn't find). TiA
Hi Barney, when replacing an engine screw set, just do them one at a time, no need to worry about any order... take one out, replace it and torque it up, and then move on to the next one so that at no time is any more than one screw removed... pay attention to the torque settings for the screws and a dab of medium threadlock will make sure they stay put... Good luck with it mate.
Thanks so much for this. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Look great
Nice paint job, I cant believe tough paint havnt sent you a few boxes of cans with the amount you have bought of them. You have been a great advert for them
Yeah, i guess so mate, it'd be nice to save a few bob that way, but it does the job and im happy to buy it for the good of the projects.
Damn fine editing!
Why thank you most kindly sir.
Nice video Del & Penny. Great paint job mate, looks sweet. Glad to hear things are getting better over there. We are going ok this side of the pond, still getting some of them crazy people not doing the right thing. Have a relaxing weekend and take care. Cheers
Hi mate, crazy people?? We all have those, they just make this whole pandemic longer and more difficult for some... at least we know we've done everything possible to comply and get past this terrible year... good to hear you're doing ok there, slowly things will heal, so have a great weekend and enjoy that sunshine! D&Px
Another step closer. Have a great weekend!
Thanks, you too!
(P) Now they look sublime!👌🏻Great job, just don’t drop the camera 🤣 enjoy the weekend.
ha ha yeah, im always conscious of that while im panning the camera across the fresh wet parts.. ! Have a good weekend too mate..
That finish is gr8. Just completed my Genesis87 fzr. Gonna do a Gamma next.
Another top job 😎👍🏻
Thank you Ian, have a good weekend mate.
Looking absolutely awesome Brother. Fantastic job as always.
Thank you kindly brother!
The multipurpose Golden Virginia tin makes an appearance as a drip tray! 😊 Wish I had of kept some of my dad's.
nice job again m8 but dont know if you know but those things you get foe scrapping paint off glass you just stick a stanley blade in them save you scudding up your good knife m8
Nice to see no hat. Supurb again love all work
Thank you so much 😀
hi del out standing paint job mate ,i am getting my kawasaki drifter out of hibernation for its first run since lockdown, hope you and penny will find time for ride out too mate,
Hi Dean, that sounds like a plan, we've all been way too long in hibernation, hoping to get out for a blast on the bikes tomorrow, just local, round the block a few times, just to blow the cobwebs out, but once we're allowed out proper, then it's time for a long haul ride for sure! Ride safe and enjoy your bike!
Hace you ever thought about installing one of those aftermarket digital dashes on an older bike? Be interesting to see. I've thought about it but have no idea where to start actually.
Personally mate, i have to say, im not a fan of them..(so sadly no, ive never fitted them) i totally love the classic architectural look of analogue clocks, in fact, id be more likely to try and retro fit some dial clocks to a modern bike than the other way round...!!
@@Moonfleet41 haha. Gotcha. 👍🏻
Oooooh, look at you in your new workshop, lol, enjoy.
YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY 1ST ONE HERE LOL
why does he sound like gordon Ramsey
Would you describe the paint work as piano finish, as it looks like it on the video.
👍👍👍
I've actually never heard that term before, but i totally understand it, and really appreciate your kind compliments.. it will dry satin finish, but the smooth surface will still look great.
Yeah , 817th ! wohoo !
Sorry ,feeling sarcastic today .
Lovely job buddy looking very sweet .. (not sarcastic that bit ! )
Or is it ? ..wooooo.. spooky , twilight zone .
Ok I need to take my meds .. Hugs ❤❤❤❤
Bruv, it's Friday night, pour yourself a large one, put your feet up and find something on the telly to fall asleep too... how different it is since we were kids... 'it's Friday, it's 5 o'clock, it's Crackerjack'... I guess we got old, you could always go clubbing with Maude, but don't join her in the kebab at the end of the night cos the chilli sauce will play havoc with your indigestion and you know she gets punchy after a few pints..... ;-0
@@Moonfleet41
Last time we went clubbing we got chased off the ice by Greenpeace ! spoil sports , bought her a fake coat in the end . She never knew !
I say fake , it was actually monkey fur from my tree house traps outside the laboratory 🙈
Looking good once again,just bought a metal shed and need to put stuff on walls,without drilling holes in shed anyone any ideas?
Free standing metal shelves?
TAKE MY MONEY 💰 . 😲 😀 😉
SOLD!
