    Do both the wheels and the tires and maybe even the luggage and helmet.

    I was actually looking for that Vintage Copper - they had it, but I decided to try this instead since I wouldn't need to put a base coat on with it.

    NAPA is supposed to carry it. You have that down in the USA, no?

    I think i will try white very soon, i was out riding yesterday for a bike show/meetup and only a few people actually thought it was gold.. most only see the black, because the gold flakes dont show unless they are in direct sunlight.. kinda sucks in a way... looks good in the sun...

    They have red metalizer at my local store, i think ima try white with the red metalize maybe to see how it goes... nice thing is its only like $2-3 to try a color out on a wheel.. the amount of surface needing painted compared to the ability for this stuff to cover the rim is pretty impressive in my opinion.. just sucks buying new colors because the cans are $6 each compared to $2 something for appliance paint, in the past i repainted a motorcycle rim black with black appliance paint and it came out pretty dang impressive... appliance paint is very very hard stuff to chip on wheels...
