Anyone wanna see my finished bike?

Not perfect but it looks pretty good

RacinNinja · June 28th, 2016, 07:10 PM

I really like that silver! Almost a gun metal color, good job!

CaliGrrl · June 28th, 2016, 07:33 PM

Nice!

sharky nrk · June 28th, 2016, 07:54 PM

I dig that silver too, very nice.

Nice where did you get the tank painted?

Snake · June 29th, 2016, 06:43 AM

Very sweet looking ride!

Racer x · June 29th, 2016, 07:05 AM

Nice love the color

Any closer look at the paint, thought you were the one doing the metallic paint? Looks good from this point though.

I did everything myself from primer to clear. Including the tank. Vinyl, pin striping, decals and all!

I will post better pics in a couple of days when I can polish and wax it to get a nice shine. It is metallic. Metallic charcoal gray. The green is candy apple green over yellow paint. Didn't really come out the way I wanted it to , but I'm okay with it.

Hi buddy, I would really like to make a small suggestion which, I feel, will really finish off the look you're going for. That front fender is sticking out like a sore thumb. What I would do is, follow the same pattern as the fuel tank and, have green stripes in the middle and have the rest of the fender the same silver as the rest of the bike. Other than that I think you've done a great job.

Thanks. Thought about doing that but the way the fender is shaped I feel like it would look funny. I think it sticks out too much too though.

I would say the same thing, the all green fender sticks out too much for my taste.

But, if you like it that way, it's your bike after all... Nice job on that paint...
