    I painted the bike again. I was not happy with the paint I had. It was really bad quality work and it didn't even match the original design I gave the painter. It was supposed to be a candy paint job. Well I'm almost done. Here are some shots.

    I thought this was a neat pic. Picture was taken at Cal State Fullerton, Irvine Campus. Is it anyone on here???

    Did I ever mention I like teaser pics?

    Aw Yeeeah! :tickled_pink:

    Next time you take pics please park it out in the sunlight Derdummkopf so we can see her in all her glory.

    Those candy colors are just waaaay too nice to waste indoors under fluorescent or incandescent lights.

    Thank you. It was a lot of back breaking sanding! Almost done. I can't wait to take her out for a ride again. I took pictures today but the exposure was a bit high. Also, the metallic base coat doesn't really show because its not in direct sunlight (I have a big pine tree in the front yard. Not done with color sanding. The cowl has was not color sanded in pics.That's enough of me. Here are some pics!

    Here are the final pictures of the bike. Didn't have time to take them anywhere special. PAint looks way better in real life. The metallic base really show up.

    Nice!

    Shame the metallic base doesn't show up too well in the pics,usually never does though. Bet it looks awesome in person.

    Well done Derdummkopf,go show that puppy off. :bravo:
