By the way you do your paint with a gun and compressor?
I have used "sears compressors for years you don't need a monster to paint with the HVLP guns that are out!You can get a cheap gun at Harbor Freight just clean it out with thinner after every use and it will last.Try it out on the wife's car first then the bike!A little paint goes a long way!

Sure would like to check out the paint, but it tells me I don't have permission to view them... Did I miss the secret hand shake post?

how much paint did this take, and where did you order your (HOK) paint from. Did you use a stencil for the detail work or is that decals?
