      Very nice work!! That paint is awesome.
      Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

      When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

        what brand of paint?

        And what did they clearcoat it with to make it fuel resistant?

        I want the burnt orange color for my new scheme and really like that one - I am going to use a Venturer tank in the burnt orange with ivory white knee insets and burnt orange sidecovers with ivory white longhorns painted on in place of emblems.

            Hi Gonzo,
            nice workover, strictly NO passengers, eh?
            I love those pipes. And I REALLY love the pipe endcaps, they make a delightfully whimsical final touch to your project.
