The question I have is whether or not spilling gas on that finish will turn it to crap. What kind of clear did you use?

Very, very nice Old Man, great job. I did the same thing with the tank emblem (i.e. black backround with polished raised parts), looks great.

Be sure to post some pics when you get the bike finished.

Nice! Great colour! I was playing around with an image editing program trying different options for my next paint job, and this is what I came up with. Similar to the colour you've chosen, though a bit darker I think.
