So, for spring break I was going to repaint my bike using rattle cans since the quick paint job I had done when I purchased the bike back in 2009 was fading and not the best work I've ever done. I just never had time to redo the project. Attached are a series of pics of how it looked before and how it looks now. (Ended up very delayed completing the project because I had carb issues once I put it back together and only recently got to start riding it again.)

Sorry for the large pics, first time using tinypic and had some issues with the files I was starting with.
