At first I was kind of meh. Then I saw it in paint and it completely changed the look. Looks great!

Just made the rear brake rod to work with my forward controls.

 

[chicken]

Just a few things to finish.. then I'm on the road.. already looking for my next build..

Where did you get the metal flake and what kinda of clear coat did you use?

 

[chicken]

The web paintwithpearls.com its a Matthews clear.

 

[chicken]

Micro flake.. it works with a 1.3 or a 1.4 fluid tip on your gun.. I mixed it in my clear.

 

[Scorpio1963]

I seen some on the web yesterday that maybe I`ll get later on down the road.The Mathews clear is gas resistant?Looks excellent on your bike.

 

[chicken]

Not sure on the clear.. I'll find out and let you know..

 

[Scorpio1963]

I read online it says its chemical resistant,I hope that includes gas or the nice paint job could get messed up pretty quick.

 

[xschris]

The gas is not what I would worry about but the ethanol that is in it.

 

[Scorpio1963]

Correctimendo.I used sparaymax, which is rattle can.It leaves a crystal clear finish and is ethanol proof not just resistant.I sprayed it over the color coat just recently I used last time and surprise no lifting, bubbling,or fogging.

 

[chicken]

I will be running 93 octane should be ethanol free..

 

[chicken]

It might be up for sale..its in upstate ny
