    Painted my tank side plates

    Rattle can black and metaflake rim paint, Duplicolor. Bubbled up on top, but I'm done messing with it. I can live with a few spots till I get a spray gun.

            +1 on the color. Did you clearcoat over the top?

              Good job Gary. Sometimes it is fine when you can walk away and say it is a lot better than what it was. But it looks great in the pictures. Can't see any of the bubbles. Enjoy.

                It looks nice in the photos. The color choice and paint scheme is also nice.

                    No clear coat. I don't have the ability to spray it with a proper automotive clear. This is just rattle can enamel. Gonna ask a friend who paints if he will do it for me.

                      Hi,

                      Yes! Nice work. I would not be embarrassed to be seen riding around on your motorcycle. I'd love to see what it would look like if you had the right equipment. Good job.


                      Thank you for your indulgence,

                        Nice job so far,i like the color as well.It is not harder to put on rattlecan clear coat than the paint itself.You find them next to the paints...I did it before,and it turned out really well.

                          Very nice, I also think the colour scheme works well.
                          For a rattle can job it looks first class, good work there.
