Dupicolor rattle cans, lace, and metal flake. I have since ruined this side cover by knocking the bike over.

Re: Show off your paint jobs!
I used 2k clear on top. The only problem is, now when it chips (and it does) it takes a big chunk out. I think 2k clear is good for painting regular gas tanks where vapors or over spill may cause it to eat away the paint around the filler neck, but totally not necessary for the GL false tanks.

Re: Show off your paint jobs!
This is the first time I have seen pictures of your bike chewy. She is a beauty. Love the colour.chewy999 wrote:20150625_175433.jpg20150625_175443.jpg20150625_175459.jpgIMG-20150821-WA0001.jpg
The mudguards, side panels and dummy tank were professionally done, the pin stripes by hand!
The gold bits were done by me with a brush, and look better in the photo than close up, but I'm happy with the result.
Put on a new Motad exhaust since the pics were taken.

Re: Show off your paint jobs!
Thanks Liam, the guy who did the main parts was recommended by a mate and is based in a small village called Parson Drove, in the middle of nowhere in Cambridgeshire. He had a shed crammed with parts and showed me tanks he was in the middle of doing, some bikes from the 1930's! He actually apologised for not matching the colour to the original, but believe me you'd never know. And as I have said here before, and anyone else who asks, he did the pinstripes by hand!
Previous Rides,

1983 GL1100C Pride and joy, sold when I bought my 1st house, big mistake
1985 GL650 Silverwing another mistake, horrible bike
1986 CBX550 Good commuter

Re: Show off your paint jobs!
groupus, are you say ALL that is Dupli-color? I'm about to pick up an '83 Aspencade that could use a recolor. Is there a particular type of Dupli-color to get?
