Default new paint and powdercoat
i painted the tins last weekend. HRF copper pearl with 2 coats gloss clear. color sanded and buffed. came out awesome. put it all back together this week. had to shave 3/4" off the spatro to make it fit the fender at the right angle. cranked it up today and took some pics. Did all this work myself in my garage but cant figure out how to post bigger pics.

looks good . Are you gonna black out the electrical and battery boxes.? They might even look cool with matching paint.

yeah was thinkin either black powder for the battery box or paint. theres too much chrome in the middle. i also drilled out the rivets on the front fender, rotated it back about 2-1/2" and cut about 4" off the bottom.

Wow, that looks wicked man!! Very cool. Came out spectacular for a home paint job. I don't think I could tell if it was done at your home or professionally. Looks great man.
