Love the color and your workmanship is outstanding. Are you in the industry, or self taught?

Self taught, although I cannot take credit for the actuall spraying process. A friend of mine sprayed the base and clear. I did all the prep, priming, sanding, and repair.

How are the sidecase rubber strips fitted. It is difficult to see from the pictures?

Do they come off easy?

How do you put them back on?

I need to respray my sidecases and am loathe to start pulling off the strips when I don't yet know what I am doing.

Any chance of a close up pic.

They adhere with a rubber compound that is a real PITA to remove from the lid. The rubber strip pictured removes from the bag easy enough, but the rubber filling stays.

The new rubber protectors come with the small Yamaha sticker on them, so don't purchase them seperate as I did, they are $5 a pop (after discount)

Nope, I live in Nebraska along with 2 other fjr owners that I know of.

I love the copper metallic colour that comes out in the sun! I have some Large home theatre speakers and had the boxes sprayed in a deep claret (almost black) with a heavy metallic copper and in the sun they look amazing. In the room they just look gloss black!
