Nice job on the calipers. Definitely sets your bike apart from others.

I did. honestly, when I started the project I thought it was an epic fail. The paint is really thick! The warmer outside the better. It is hard to do thin coats, there was brush strokes. As it dries it levels out. Comes out real nice. Looks a bit like powder coating. If it is below 70 deg outside, it takes a good 24 hrs to handle.

Looks ok, albeit a bit on the obtrusive side!
That is unless you are going to put some other pieces on the bike the same color and then some how tie it altogether? IMHO. FWIW.

looks good but needs another red highlight somewhere - maybe in the chrome lettering on the tank?

My apologies for the late reply. Been under the weather this week. I used the spray on. 3 nice coats and let her dry over night.

I have red SE plugs on order and may do some red pin striping to paint to round it all out.

Just need to find some little areas to accent in red so its not over powering or by itself.

Looks nice. I also painted mine with the same Duplicolor. I replaced the retaining bolts with chrome ones and painted the airscreen black.
