Fitting new mesh to bodywork
Posted: Mon May 02, 2016 11:20 pm
I recently finished updating the mesh on the rear bodywork to one of my RG500s. As its glued onto the fibreglass tail section from the interior, it needs to be cut to size and shaped then carefully fixed into place. This is expanded aluminum mesh in its natural silver colour, which replaced the black painted pieces the previous owner had installed. While I was at it I cleaned up the interior of this body section and refinished it in pearl black VHT paint.

The new mesh is way better looking than the previously fitted pieces.
