Default my first real paint job...and with lace panels

so this is my first paint job with a spray gun and mixing chemicals and such. wanted a old school lace panel paint job so i attempted it. its not perfect but again this is my first time ever attempting something like this... think I'm going to repaint my bike this winter...

what I started with



after primer and black base coat started taping off the panels


some red pearl



adding the lace




sum silver flake


and the end product with House of Kolor lime gold kandy and 5 coats of clear coat. still need to wet sand and buff but here she is...

Pretty cool I have never seen that method. Im thinking about doing a tank that looks like marble. Its pretty easy to do using a trashbag.
