Lol well the black is just a base coat. It is getting more coats of special paint and clear on top of it. And you know I can't just get rid of the pearl white I had. Just going to a brighter pearl ice white. And to throw that tradition of the fire service into it I am seperating the two colors with some 24 carat gold leaf and old school pin stripes. So I hope it is not to fast so the paint is just a blurr. I want people to see this baby coming.

Sounds like it is really going to look great. The gold leafing will really set it apart.

I think i like that front fender. I don't like those dresser front fenders,too chunky or fat. That one is lean and sleek. The fishtails look pretty long though hover it might just be my eyes.
Cool project.

Pictures do not do the colors justice. I also had the bare bones seat recovered to match the new paint..
