Wow. Looks real good chick! For the few ooopsies, just think of all you learned and all the money you saved to put in that pretty red tank. Good job. Cant wait to see what you decide to tackle next.

SuhWheet!

I was going to go satin on my scoot but ended up falling in love with the gloss as well.

BTW, the red looks great, don't sweat it being too "bright" that's just a little attention getter.

applying the clear coat...dang thats bright!!
Did you get two or three coats laid down pretty quickly? Gotta keep it sorta fresh (15 minutes +/-) to lay down the next coat.

Let's see how it looks.
