It's all about the prep work. Taping is very important. Just take your time & don't rush to finish the job. You're taking on a big job. Actually, I think your bike looks great. But it's 'Your' bike & not mine. Good luck & post some pics when you get it finished.

Will do, the only thing I am waiting on is for the weather to get nice again, we had a little period where the weather was nice for a minute (65-70) out last week and now its back down to 28, as I get older im getting more and more tired of living in michigan

Far as wrinkle painting the engine done a lot of that back in the day even wrinkled a whole on a chopper once. Best way I've found working with that stuff is preheat the parts to wear it's uncomfortable to touch them and do it in 2 coats with a few minutes between. Full engines I'd tent in aluminum foil with an electric heater as a heat source. Helps if you disconnect the tilt switch in the heater so you can lay it down or at odd angles.
