Default NOT BLACK,But what do you think?

I got a set of tins off E-Bay a piece at a time and now I started to paint.I started with a silver base and then silver mini flake.
I then taped off some stripes and sprayed everything with brandy wine candy and then clear on top.NOT BLACK,But what do you think?-candy2.jpg
I still have to do some more detail work and add the old H-D logo (don't want anyone to think it's a Honda! LOL)
Hope to have it all done by the end of the month!

Paint makes it look like a fishing lure, I like it.

It is always the little things that set things apart and make them special. The paint looks great in the first set of pictures, but that detail look at the tank shows your detail - LOVE the scales (or is it honey comb?) pattern. That is going to look GREAT on your bike when all is said and done.

Thanks for sharing your work man.
