Duplicolor all the way. Color and clear coats. You just can't put it on heavy. You have to build up the clear in thin coats. Then I let it all cure for about two weeks before final wet sanding with 2000 then buff it out by hand.

Same method on this bike.

As has been mentioned it looks great! You’ve got some talent, Sir. Can we get more pics of the bike? She looks real nice too.

That's a great job. But, you're retired and I have to work tomorrow. So it's hard for me to be happy for you.

Very Cool

Looking forward to retirement, to do stuff just like that. Spray cans get a bad rap. You can do some nice work with them for dirt cheap

Where did you get the lace?
