Defiantly like the color scheme.
Awaiting answers to the previous questions as I'm going to repaint mine before I get into the full swing of spring/summer riding.

Wow, that paint looks great!

And the metalic green stripe is very 70's period correct too.

i emailed duplicolor a few days ago and they said not to use any clear with the metalcast. i'm using the metalcast purple on my 900

Thanks for that info btchalice. Guess I'll just wax her up when I'm ready.

thanks all for the compliments and sorry if i drag this out a bit but hopefully it will answer all your questions.

all of my paint is duplicolor except for the gold stripe and chameleon.
the green is actually a prismatic clear over black base
you can change the effect of the prismatic alot just by trying different base colors and surface textures.
even leaving the "orange peel" on the base color will have a tremendous effect on how the prisms catch light.

if you have any doubts about wether or not paints work together find a test piece of the same material.
when i use spray paint i test ALL of the paints in the order they will be applied.

i used dupilcolor acrylic clear,
and yes i sanded everything.in fact i spent more on sandpaper then i did on paint. 120,240,320,400,600,800,1500and 2000 grit.

we have some sun today so i think im going to go pull it out and snap some more pics.

if anyone has a piece done with the metalcast please post a pic. ive been looking at it but havnt had a chance to use it yet.

That looks very very nice !! I cant believe its from a rattle can, i just cant believe it. Post some more pics from a distance please, outside in light too if you can. I'd love to see what the sunlight does to the look. Thanks Wayne

That looks SWEEEET, love the color combo. I like that stripe better tha the stock oe.

got some sunlight shots
you can see the level of change from green to blue in some of these but the pictures dont do it justice.
when you walk around the bike its amazing how much it changes.

i agree with ya mark. i liked the stock stripes alot but they dont have the "hey look at me" quality im looking for so i adapted the stripes from a 75'400s and left out the lower.
and the stripe looks yellow but is actually gold metallic.
