here is the assembled moto guzzi cafe racer that I shot the chrome illusion paint on. the side cover panels ARE polished aluminum, but the tank is fiberglass, shot with chrome illusion paint, to LOOK like aluminum.
it rides and handles like a two wheeled ferrari! (no, it's not my bike, but the owner let me ride it) enjoy "I believe the state of arkansas flag colors should be,...................PRIMER"

Reckon, when you have a second could you post if you have ever done any work on any GoldWings? Put it on the off topic board if that is more appropriate.....
My '85 beckons for a change......want something unique. Thanks

thanks for the compliment,...the kit from innate comes with very detailed instructions, and if you call nate, at innate, he'll give ya a few more tips.
really cool stuff, it's just NOT AT ALL LIKE ANYTHING you've ever shot before, so a test panel is a MUST, and at $80 a pint, I'm sure you can see why here's the original thread: http://autobody101.com/forums/viewtopic ... rome+paint "I believe the state of arkansas flag colors should be,...................PRIMER"
