Re: '74 cb350f quasi-bratstyle trashterpiece (updated: paint job; page 9)
well in classic form i changed my mind again about the paint and decided to try my hand at some painting with rattle cans. The process went as follows:
1. shaved/relocated petcock(s)
2. shaved the front of the tunnel because i want the tank to sit higher
3. made a new mount for the front of the tank
4. bondo/bodywork
5. primer
6. layer of generic silver paint
7. a few layers of walmart 'spray glitter'
8. sprinkling of actual craft glitter
9. few layers of clear
10. wetsand
11. tape off graphics
12. stretch lace and dust with black paint
13. layer of yellow "candy" (duplicolor metalcast)
14. layer of red "candy" (Krylon x-metals)
15. bury it all in clear and let it cure for a few days
oh yea and I also did a little somethin to my vintage 3/4 bucket:

Ahaha, hell yeah craft glitter. You pretty much used all the same steps I did when I painted some RC car bodies and a bigass tool box a few years back... handfuls of glitter and all! You can never have enough flake...ever.
Lookin' good. and SPARKLY
You still gonna have your buddy throw some poly. clear on em?

yea the plan is for now to allow the acrylic enamel clear thats on there to fully cure (be super careful when filling with fuel) and then either get that guy to poly clear it or to buy some of that 2k polyurethane clear in the can and do it myself (its a legit 2 part poly, you push a button on the can and shake it like hell to mix the two parts and the can is only good for 24 hours)..
Of course I know theres always a possibility that i'll be lulled into complacency and just leave it as is; but I would like to finish it for real at some point in the future.

Yeah man, I was going to say... Looks damn good as it is.
I'm thinking my bike is going to end up the cafe'd, glittery half breed half brother of your bike... Flake is way too hard to resist. I neeeeeed it.

Love the flake!
Yours came out much better (and much less $$$) than the 'flake in a can' products. Well done!

Well I apologize for the lack of updates, but here's a fairly big one.
The bike hasn't sold yet, but I just now started putting it up for sale in the forums instead of just craigs list.
The story with the handlebars is my throttle broke so instead of spending money to buy a new one, I had an internal throttle laying around which wouldnt work with the old bars, so I made these out of some tube I found in the yard with some old frame tube left over from when i chopped the ass off of the bike... but I digress, I'll let the pictures do the talking now. In case any of you were interested, its in the for sale section along with the helmet.
