The darts came out fairly good. I will wet sand them a bit and touch up a bit of overspray. I layed the lime line tape down on the forks a little too early and it pulled some gray paint. I will let it cure well and then do a touch up. The lime line tape adhesive was a little too aggressive and I should have pulled slower. Chain guard and skirts have been clear coated and await assembly. The rear fender may get a gray stripe, but otherwise ready to get the clear coat. I’m really hoping for the assembly to happen Saturday evening.

I'm really liking this color scheme. Can't wait to see it all together!

The frame is ready for the clear coat. Though I like the satin, I clear coated with a gloss to protect the paint from wear. I should have picked up the flat clear. Use what ya got!

The tank is in its first stage of paint. Hopefully my last can will make it through. Still has details to be added.

Tank you much @Dr. Tankenstein I have had some sloppy spots but I have been correcting them. The rustoleum 2x ultra cover is hard to control.

These colors are so contrasting, but the play together so very well.
Excellent work!

I wanted some colts that would pop, and the smoke Gray helps make that happen. It is a current challenge to make everything play well. Hopefully it has a satisfying look to it once it’s out together.

First coat of clear for the frame!

 

[Shrunken_Head_Pedaler]

Added a small paint feature to the fender, to break up the green a bit and to mimic the darts on the frame.

YUMMY!!
That huge flared ducktail is incredible and the super long dart really does set that fender off!
EXCELLENT!!
