				Thanks Maddiedog,
The paint was the easy part, and since its plasti-dip, Only temporary!

				Looks great. Had you used the plasti-dip before and how hard was it to use? How long will the plasti-dip last?

				Thanks,
Although I learned body and paint work 30 years ago and have done it on and off again since,
I've never used the plastidip until now. 
It was like any other paint, just sprayed on a bit thicker than I'm used to.
I sprayed the panels with a HVLP gun, only the wheels did I use the spray can.
There are tons of youtube videos on what to do, and what not to do.
How long it lasts is a good question.
Since it's garaged, the UV issues should be minimal, but if I can get a season or two of riding, I'll be happy.
It all peels off in a matter of minutes
I did a test piece with the black to see how it comes off.

				Thanks.
Its been a great bike to ride now and is my designated distance machine.
The plasti-dip is holding up fairly well, but everywhere my shoe has scraped across it, a scuff is left..
