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

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.

I thought you were going to go with a 2 tone?

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