Thanks Irk, I decided plain blue wasn't going to cut it. I did have to sand that all off and start over, can't see it in the Pic but humidity fucked with the paint as it was at like 90% when I shot that paint to test it. been like that or too cold for the last week. Need a good day to get the parts all masked off and in colour then clear.
 
Thanks Im feckin trying to get it done. 2 steps forward one back. I might just say fuck it and clear it half assed
 
Thanks, too bad I am going to have to strip it all back to bare, the silver dried fine at first but then became sticky and soft, I didn't dare clear over it, there was a mix in paint, I had tried another type of silver first. It was nice colour but was hell to spray so I sanded it down and re-shot with Duplicolor as I have good luck with that stuff, It laid fine but reacted over night with the other silver. I'm getting sick of re-doing this paint!
 
Yep the paint that screwed me was a rustoleum product i have done duplicolor 5 times with 2 k clear and had wonderful results. My wife got the silver as I didnt specify duplicolor and so I tried it. It wouldnt spray flat it kept running as it was a 2x thick paint and so I gave up and sanded it all smooth. It was a diffrent type of paint and the duplicolor that I bought after didnt play nice. It was dry, i was able to mask it off and then it went squishy 24 hrs later.
 
Wow I just found this, a newbie to DTT . Sorry about the deer, I had a crash with an emu in OZ many years ago, it happened so fast. Very glad you have fixed up your bike (r cm bikes ever finished?) I wish you and the wife many happy miles of open road. I like the sliver paint
 
Damn man, where the hell were you to hit an Emu? First time I have heard of someone hitting an Emu on a bike.

The paint looks great Maritime. Pity about the silver not playing nice.
