Nice color!  Tank is looking real nice but I noticed a bit of orange peel by the seats.  Have you color sanded yet?

Nice sir, very nice.  I thought about going with a similar color when I put mine back together.

What bike do you have?  Looking at the tank and fairings, my money is on a Kaw but I may be wrong.

Love that color. A guy my mom dated when I was a kid had a Harley Sportster that color, was a beautiful bike.

Remember to post pics when its done and all put together.  :aok

Kawi ZX-6R if I'm not mistaken...  I just did my ZX-7R in ghost silver last year.  Unfortunately, I had to sell it due to costs of moving.  Still tryin to buy it back.

yea it is an '03 ZX6R the color actually changes in different light its called "bermuda blue" its a GM color. i just got done wet sanding it today but im about to put some "tear-away" checkered flags (similiar to the car below that we did but w/o the paw prints lol) the checkered parts will be in a "flip" pearl which changes from green to gold depending on the angle viewed i used a 2k high build primer & wet sanded before i painted the base and just used a lil cheapo gun i bought til i can afford a Sata




oh & here is a pic of the bike before
