Awesome, I assume you needed both cans to get it all done? That's some expensive paint, but it's probably worth it.

Yep...both cans... I will let you know how it holds as soon as it stop freakin' snow! We've got temperatures of 25-30° C (~85° F) for about 2-3 weeks and now... SNOW !!! WTF !!! Haha... sry about that, it's killing me...

I spray canned everything gray on my nightster to black. It looks solid with the spray can job.

Not me i think it looked better before,
Does it look "smoother and more Factory finished" in real life?
It sort of reminds me of the engine on my 54 Matchless which i painted.
Just my opinion and im sure it looks real good but not for me
Thanks for share-ing as very informative
cheers
