Opinions please....shall I paint the rivets black (ballache, but they're black on the bike) or keep them as they are (pictured)?

I like the PE rivet like you show
Did you paint it black inside and then do a PE rivet????
That is what I am planning to do with all my fairing rivets

They're the Top Studio aluminium rivets. 1.2mm seems to be just right

IMO, I like the black on the 1:1 bike you posted.

I think they look good like that! I'd try painting one black and seeing which you prefer.

Got to say, black looks good. Just can't see the detail from far away

Yep, that's the one!

Ooooooh I see what you mean

I interpreted that wrong and thought you meant black paint OR a rivet

Now I see you mean a black rivet....yes that looks very good black
My ref pic of the yellow Panigale has black rivets as well

Posted: **Tue Jun 09, 2020 11:07 pm**

Yeah, I've searched loads of reference pictures and they all had black rivets.
It wasn't as much of a ballache to paint then as I first thought. Pretty happy with the result.

Well guys, I finally finished the Panigale

Finished late tonight so lights not good for pictures. I'll be taking pictures tomorrow and uploading to the completed section. But here's one to wet the appetite

Drilling the brake discs and 2 holes joined together on a few.
Then just tonight, gluing the rear fairing together, I've gone and got CA on one of the white parts.
Sanded back too far so can't save it.

Not to worry though, I've bought the kit again on evilbay ready to start again, except not going to drill the disc brakes this time round.

Plenty to carry on with in meantime though

I still have the kit discs if they're any good to you ?

It's ok cheers mate, I've had to nick a few more items out of the spare kit due to other things going wrong, so it's a write off

Thanks though.

So cool.. looking forward to more pics.

Posted: **Tue Jun 16, 2020 6:20 pm**

Some better pictures of the finished bike

Posted: **Tue Jun 16, 2020 6:26 pm**

Just beautiful!! Turned out awesome!

Love how you painted a lot of the bits black (like the bottom of the forks) - looks great.
