Awesome job and the bike looks great. I've always wanted to learn how to paint. I appreciate the hard work and talent that goes into getting a quality outcome. I do everything myself on my bikes except paint. But.........again, excellent work man :ap

I always wanted to learn how to paint so I thought this was a good opportunity to dig in and give it a try. I built my paint booth so I could set it up again if the chance came up. I bought some paint guns from Harbor Freight but decided to get a better one later and used the better one for base mid and clear coats, finer atomization. I read a lot and asked a bunch of questions until I felt confident. Here's some more shots:

When ya do, PM me, I have a ton of good info that I'll share. It can be kinda overwhelming but if you take it methodically it makes the process manageable. I had to learn a lot of patience for this project.

Patience, or lack of has been the bane of most of my projects since I can remember. Kudo's to you for doing the project properly.

Looks great man! I liked the look of your mid coat also. That metallic grey with clear coat would look slick. very nice results. Thanks for the post.

It's a tri-coat, I got it from Napa paint store which is a Martin Senour paint but is made by Sherwin Williams. the base color grey I think is a Nissan color I think called Loam Grey, the mid coat kandy is just called tangerine, all urethane products. The guy that helped me there made it up from another paint chip as close as he could. I think he did real good.
