My paint is going to cost me literally $7 for a can of denim blue spray paint and then Focusinprogress and I are splitting cost on a good clear. ---

Just make sure your good clear doesn’t wrinkle a spray can of color, been there. Lookin good, should be sweet when it’s all done. ---

saw this bike on CL and thought it looked like the color you wanted, so I’m posting it here for some inspiration. Also, I did some reading on the appliance epoxy because I really liked the way it came out on your parts…what I found is that it’s not UV resistant, and will chalk up/fade/flake off over time from UV exposure…quick save is to clearcoat over it all because clear coat has UV protectant in it. FYI, 95 dime gave me almost half a gallon of clear, I have a little more than a quart left that we can use on your parts if you grab some blue for the tank and seat… ![http://images.craigslist.org/5N95G25Jf3nb3Ke3Nac6oc536150f102f11c0.jpg](http://images.craigslist.org/5N95G25Jf3nb3Ke3Nac6oc536150f102f11c0.jpg) ---

There’s a lot of room left on this “finish it!” bandwagon…who wants a seat? lol. it’s so damn close it’s sad. it’s closer than the SHOmaro by far. pretty sure all it needs is: seat uphostery some gaskets to do final assembly on engine me to finish the side covers signal and plate mounts paint tires ---

It’s like a fine wine, Beck. The only difference is that it’s a motorcycle, you can’t drink it, it costs more, it won’t cause random drunk dials at 3am, and you have less chance of sleeping with Buffalo 3-4 after riding it. So yeah, like a fine wine. ---
