Looks pretty sharp! :2thumbs:

I like the legshield paintwork. Are you planning any detail work or decals?

Thanks-
the finish doesn't really lend itself to stickers-
maybe a Stencil is in order...!

Greetings:

From Wild to Mild. :shock: I like the finish! I re-read through the whole thread and couldn't find it; What product did you use?

i think it turned out well.it's a unique finish for certain.
it took 4 cans to cover though i prolly over did it just a tad.
it doesn't cover as well as regular paint .

It's great though if you get a stone chip. You don't even have to take the panel off. Just spray it a little with that textured paint and it covers it right up. No worry of an uneven coat with that type of paint. It just blends in. :)

The petcock cover now looks like it's part of the rear fairings too!

well... in fact the petcock cover is cast into the panel on this particular vintage of Spree plastics.
