bicycle engine kit update july7th maiden voyage vid

[icyuod2]

gave it alittle of my favorite anti-color. flat black baby!

maybe this is a stupid question, but can ya purchase flat gold paint for pinstriping?
i'd like to have a go at it, but want the build to look old and faded.

Perhaps a coppertone would be better ? Might not be as shiny as gold ?

thx bud

this morning i dolled up the motor with some vht (very high temp) header paint. flat black of course.
before i cured the paint (ie ran the motor) i used a scotch bright pad to remove paint from the edges of the fin's. helps make the motor look alittle older than it really is.

Cool! Now maybe some header wrap/tape...To tone that chrome muffler down a bit! :mrgreen:
