Default Added Glitter to MetalCast Candy spray... Version II

before, it was orange and red, with silver metalflake/glitter... well here's what it looks like now...i wanted to try another set of colors.... and designs... not really happy on the yellow/gold section's shape and location, but i like it better so far than my previous red and orange random fade in and out...

i used gold glitter this time, with some Smoked Clear metalcast and yellow clear metalcast paints...

it looks green, and everyone thinks it is...haha. silver, with gold glitter, with yellow inserts, with smoked clear over everything...= "green" haha.








and this is what it looks like with the coil relocated and wires pulled up a bit higher under the tank.. and since then, have put new matching plug wires ...





and now i have a new velocity stack intake with a cone filter... it gives it lots of acceleration and throttle response now!




so you can see where i screwed up on the paper line, separating the yellow area right near the fuel gauge tubing... but oh well.

Very cool. I think the fuel gauge / tube is radical.

Your paint job reminds me of my late fathers 79' sportster. He did a custom paint on it. Base of gray, then candy tangerine then a clear coat with mother of pearl dust in it, last was about 5 coats of clear. Man was it pretty!
