well i decided to paint my tank and my front fender on my bike flat black instead of the gloss black that it was. its just a start to what i would like to do this bike and things didnt go as planned. long story short, i spent all night wetsanding and painting these 2 peices. not really a tough task as i just helped my buddy do his bike desert camo last week, it looks pretty badass btw. well me being the rookie painter that i am decided it had cured for long enough and i was going to put it all back together. As im filling up the tank, i notice gas was dripping from my gascan and i didnt see it. needless to say, the paint is gone where that gas dripped. i was having a rough day since my mother went into the hospital today and i figured this would be a good stress relieving project, boy was i wrong. on to the pictures. ![http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/IMG_0609.jpg](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/IMG_0609.jpg) ![http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/IMG_0610.jpg](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/IMG_0610.jpg) ![http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/IMG_0611.jpg](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/IMG_0611.jpg) ![http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/IMG_0612.jpg](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/IMG_0612.jpg) ![http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/IMG_0613.jpg](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/IMG_0613.jpg) ![http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/IMG_0614.jpg](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/IMG_0614.jpg) ![http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/IMG_0615.jpg](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/IMG_0615.jpg) ![http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/IMG_0616.jpg](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/IMG_0616.jpg) ![http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/IMG_0617.jpg](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/IMG_0617.jpg) i really wasnt feeling the paintjob the first time anyways, it looked good, but it the sun i know there are going to be some spots. oh well, shit happens, i guess i know what ill be doing tomorrow night. ---

Waste of $20 if you ask me. Probably could have wet sanded it down to flat black. ---

no i dont think it would have looked as good. it was a cheap can of camo ultra flat black. the majority of money was spent on sandpaper, acetone, scotch pads, and beer. it will look better once i get more parts on it. iv got more steel going on it, in the winter time the frame will be painted flat black as well. ---
