Like the Unicolor very much, gives the bike an even better look. Thinking about that myself but have not desided which color.

Looks great!! Wish I had that skill. What kind of gun, paint, etc. did you use? Just curious.

i used a siphon feed spraygun for almost everything,but for the tricky spots i used a siphon feed detail gun.

i used acrylic enamel base coat,with acrylic enamel clear coat. i have four coats of base color,and three clear coats.

i sandblasted everything,but sanding,or paint stripper will work,then i used a light gray primer,and 200 grit sandpaper for the primer

remember u use 2000 grit sandpaper,and rubbing compound for the final finish.

Anyway, Nice work. :D Looks like some of the paint jobs you see in the magazines...

Very nicely done. One might even say "Cherry".

it could be "fireballcherry" but that sounds like a ben&jerry's ice cream flavor :D
