Very nice. That color looks like the Inferno Orange Metallic that Corvette ZR1 comes in. Beautiful color!

The base is a GM color. I forget what they call it, but it's burnt orange metallic to my eye, then we threw 2 coats or red pearl over it and this is what we ended up with. It really is cool, how it seems to change hues in different light. I'll try to find some more pics from the paint booth that really show this

Oh yeah, someone sent me a PM asking about the first picture. Yes, that's a charging cord coming out of my fairing to hook to my IPhone. We use it for Pandora radio and GPS. I wired the cord into the harness, inside the fairing

Here's some pictures that I took the day the first part was done.

Keep in mind that these pictures are all of the same fender, with the same paint, on the same day, in different lighting
