They do no seem to have this stuff on their site but I saw them today in AutoZone.  Was wondering if anyone has done this and can provide pics and opinions.

I've used the green and the metallic copper.  (trying to figure out what color I'm painting this beast)
I used the silver metallic for the base, followed by the color - I didn't use the Prism clear....

The green flowed very well, and when finished, actually could pass for a pro job...very smooth finish
Dried hard enough that I was able to polish with some Mother's car wax I had on hand

The copper, looked good at 5 ft but didn't flow nearly as well as the green.  Would have looked better
with a clear topcoat.

Not sure about the durability long term, but I have droppped a few drops of gas near the fuel filler
and nothing happened....I did get it off immediately. 

Here's the copper:

Yep, I'm the kid that figured out how to put things back together...eventually.

Kewl, and a nice looking bike you have there!

Anyone try the prism clear yet?  WHat would it even look like?  Multiple colors as you walk by?
