Thanks everyone for the comments. Other than the cool color combo I don't have much else planned yet. Well there is a little surprise I'm doing with the paint if I can pull it off.
I really need to think of some cool or unique details and features to add as the competition is looking pretty tough.

Well the highs have only been in the teens but next week they're forecasting a hi of 58. That's Kansas for ya. Anyway that's plenty warm to paint with a flat paint. Now I just have to brave the cold to make sure the frame is prepped and ready to go by then.

Looking good - is that black or a dark grey on the frame? Either way, it looks sharp & your garage is waaay too clean. :mrgreen:

The paint is kind of a semi flat black. More on it later.

I'll have to pass on your kind words about my garage to the wife.
Every night when she pulls into the garage and comes in I hear about how junky our garage is. I do leave room for at least her car.

Clean garage

Whats wrong with a clean garage, Its wonderful having an organized work station, so much easier 2 find ur tools parts etc.. Or is it ect.. Any way yeah

What's wrong with a clean garage? Absolutely nothing - except it makes those of us with "less than clean" garages look bad :wink: Throws off the Bell-curve it does.
