I always loved those WW2 military bikes, and the olive drab color. For those curious, I am not a military member, but the staff sergeant symbol is a salute to my grandfather, who was a staff sargeant in the 8th infantry during ww2.

Bike looks great! How did you apply all the colors? Is it rattle can, powder and/or actual spray booth applied? Regaurdless the lines are clean looking and I thank your grandfather for serving and thank you for sharing the honoring of him!

All the paint done this time around is rattle can. I am pretty good with a can, and have painted a lot of stuff. It has 2 coats of primer, 5 coats of paint, and 4 coats of matte clear on everything.

Thanks.
