Nice job!
I am going to repaint my 81 1100E Silver with Charcol Gray stripes and either Black pinstripes or Suzuki Blue pinstripes.
Where did you get the D&D Pipe for your Rocket????

I wasn't so sure about the silver, but now the more I look at it the more I love it.
The D&D came with the bike. I did however do a google search on them not long ago, and they are very available, and very expensive. I think D&D has a website you can buy direct from? Very loud, very throaty.

Great choice! In my experience silver is the easiest color to paint, and maintain, black is the hardest....

Yeah, I should have been more specific!
Black is easier to spray because you can see the runs easier.
Silver paint is much cheaper, easier to do the final sanding and buffing on.
Silver paint is also, in the long run, easier to take care of.

Agreed. Although I found it tedious to wet sand. I went through it quite easily. Had to shoot a fourth coat on one side cover. I'm not at all happy with my base coat. This was a learning experience for me. Next time I will take more time and precautions, with more coats. All in all it looks a thousand times better than it did. Next summer it will be perfect... Thanks for all of the compliments, they mean a lot.

There's always gonna be a few things you notice later, but I think you're looking good! You can always add graphics or decals to cover flaws (if that's possible). Of course the flaws are always where you see them the most.
The underside of my tanks always look perfect!
Usually what happens after a new paint job, at least in my case, is that rocks get thrown off trucks on the highway. Hail storms are common after fresh paint, not to mention somebody has to sit on the bike and scratch the tank with zipper. Those things never happen if I am riding a crappy looking bike!

I have a couple of dents that I didn't take out that I would like gone in the future. I skimped on major prep work in the name of experimentation, and time...
