Found a quick way to do this..... A lot of time can be spent taping things off so I tried one of those Enamel Paint Pens a few years back and wow- make easy work of it and no taping required and has held up great!

The tip on these pens are a plunger type so you can just lower the tip into the cavities and push down to let the paint sort of pool and then take a small artist paint brush and just push the paint for a nice coat.

Then you just wipe around the edges if you need to.

I manufactured the rear-sets myself to use the stock pegs, and they still fold-up. I made these with bronze bushings, but I am not satisfied with the "feel", so I have a set of skateboard bearings to replace them but I need to get some lathe work done.
It is a '72, the build thread is at: DTT

Thanks Devin! Not sure where you find the time to do all this.

If we get solid info, I will add it to the model specs when that project gets more mature! I spoke yesterday with Enduronut, and we are planning some very cool site upgrades!

The 1973 dt3 dark green on my bike the fuel tank is darker then the oil tank and headlamp. I researched a ppg color from a 2000-2006 nissan ppg #402508 VI the more vivid variant formula. we use envirobase water base with clear the color is inbetween the fuel tank and the other parts. this would be a good option instead of a tricoat

my dt3 is a low milage original got it from original owner has always been garaged. the tank was sprayed on the heavy side and buried the metallic the parts are close but not exactly the same. being a collision painter I notice it but most people wouldnt. great thread nice to see someone trying to keep colors up to date.
