I used the Rustoleum gloss & flat mixture with Q-tip applicator method, as I already had the spray cans. I sprayed the paint into a small disposable container to work from. I also used a base coat of GM black touch up paint that I had on-hand. It turned out OK, not perfect, but what the heck, not at all bad for a Q-tip & some Rustoleum

The bike fell over while it was being trailered...one of the tie downs unfortunately wasn't secured right. The frame took the brunt of it on the right side motor mount weld, & at a wide point on the frame...surprisingly, nothing else was damaged, & what did hit was cosmetic only. As a friend said, I lucked-out on this one.

A casual observer wouldn't even notice the repair, but I know it's there. The motor mount weld came out great, the wide point is a little glossy compared to the surrounding finish. Maybe a little decal for camo will do the trick, perhaps a Union Jack or Triumph logo...got to make some lemonade out of this :razz:
