Candy applied Clear again in a couple days

Next phase of sanding is done. I'll lay out my lines tomorrow hopefully. Used a 320 grit sponge. Few imperfections but considering I've never done this before and it's spray cans I'm good with it.

Update From the bare metal worked back up to flake and cleared it last night Checked it this morning and night and day difference So my error was not enough clear last time to bury the flake. Photos are from last night with the clear still wet

For anyone that's been following I tried to touch up the candy in a couple spots and it started to react and wrinkle. So back to bare metal Tank is primered and black base but the other parts are still bare. More paint is on the way and I'll update with the redo.

Still without the 2k clear or sanding, but out in the sun to cure a bit. Like I said the layout and lines aren't perfect but considering this was my first paint job and it's all rattle cans I'm happy.

Still have to do the 2k clear Decided not to use the almond on the fender or tank. All rattle cans. I'm happy with it.

Next up Rootbeer panels Outlined by the flake Other area filled in with the almond to accent it Then a real 2k clear Hopefully all goes well

Sanded the clear and did another flake for good measure then cleared again Couple days I'll sand and lay out my panels

Here's my review Yes it's pretty simple to just make these out of metal, but if you're not in a rush these are perfect. They are worth the time saved and will keep your motor sealed up if stored, or debris out if you're cleaning or painting. Well worth the money and time saved.

I'll be chasing out all my threads before assembly

My fender needs a second coat, but have to get more flake. Tank has clear and will be sanded so I can set up the panels and candy it before final clear

I could make one out of chrome molly if you wanted. Shoot me a message and we can talk more.

I am not affiliated with the YouTube links I'm about to give. But I found these 2 videos helpful for how I'm going to paint the rest of the tank and the fender.

And Rustoleum glitter for the flake Clear coat is up tomorrow

It's not chrome molly. It's .120 wall DOM 1x2. Axle plate was designed by myself. It's the prototype. Also the brat seat portion is from one of my kits. That's also .120 wall DOM.

Trying my hand at painting the tank. So far primer and black base is on. Attempting to do a homemade metal flake with some candy all out of spray cans.

Just about ready for testing.

Nope But if you are in any of the Facebook groups a guy by the name of Mike pec has a set of carbs for sale.
