Interesting to see how the paint reacts now that it is twilight here, almost turns into a dull brass finish...

Some idea of how the frame looks:

Had to see what it looked like with the seat fabric and a tail light!

Don't feel bad. He removed a pic of Daisy Duke from 1979 network television from one of my threads.:21:

Thanks Guys! I had no idea it was going to pop like that in the light! To be honest I was a little disappointed at the start, it looks a bit flat in the shade, but once any sort of light hits it, it really comes to life!

@c1run1 it is Gold holographic prism flake in .004 from PWP, I used 1.5 jars, really happy with the product and their range is good too, next order might be a few different colours to mess around with:

@G-Matt that chameleon is perfect! Looks just like it!

@Chad T , I'm sure you know that light is just there temporarily, but I was thinking the same thing when I took the photo!:confused:

Very overcast today, the paint looks flat again, so no new photos... :blush:

Sunshine at last!

Just finished the first round of wet-sanding on the frame too, my arms and fingers feel ready to fall off! There was a lot of sanding to get it all smoothed out, good thing I put 5 good coats on, pretty sure most of it is off the bike now... The water bucket I was using was looking more like milk when I was finished!
I will have a second look at it tomorrow and make sure I didn't miss anything, then I can start thinking about the final clear coats and reassembly!

Luke.
