Well, got done with the bike sun. its Done in Candy Tangerine over a metallic gold base,and 1 3/4 gal. of clear all HOK. It turned out greeat, EXCEPT 1, 3/16" little blister right on the tank(sweat drop,I think)!!! Frame and every other item came out perfect, all candy, no runs, railroad tracks or splotches or uneveness in color. I will suck up the blister,save some more funds and then strip and repaint the tanks in the fall.By that time, I should have a little more courage to take the airbrush to them. I will post a pic of the bike when assembled.Squirt
