WOW! The paint. I love it. Please tell us more about the paint.

Paint is a Mazda color spirited green .
I had the rattle cans made up at a auto parts supplier they where a little pricey but worth it
as they spray on great .
It is as close as I could get to the old CCM Mustang color .
The CCM muscle bikes had a silver undercoat and I think a candy color over top .
I redid a CCM charger once and even though it was a black bike it had the silver under coat as well .

Bike is finished just gotta shoot some good photos
Here is the only gizmo on the bike .
I needed to put on a reflector and have a set of these old hologram muscle bike ones .
Very hard to photo these but gave it a shot .
Its a bat and depending on the angle you are looking at the wings flap and looks like its flying at you .

Maybe it will mesmo me a couple of votes

Having a heck of a time shooting that paint so reflective .
Will keep trying to find the right light but bike is finished .
This is not my final shot .

That looks great! Love the bat reflector also. Awesome job!

Thanks so hard to shoot a good picture though bike is too shiny.
Just finished this bike pointed the camera and shot nice clear picture .
Must be the old paint and chrome .

Tried a fountain shot still couldn't get the color right .
As I was wheeling up to the fountain a beautiful tall brunette supermodel had just finished shooting some photos.
She was wearing a sequinned Green dress .
I tried boys and girls but she didn't want to be in the shot .
I saw her later and thanked her for not being in the shot as no one would have noticed the bike .

I think that's a great fountain shot. Just needed a little cropping. That paint is popping on the light!

So many cool bikes had to start a voting list to keep track .
