Just shot the last coat of clear coat this morning, and it's all back together. Here are before and after pictures. What do you think. Oh and "MERRY CHRISTMAS"

That is really one nice ride. If my project "550" comes out anywhere near as nice, I'll be happy. Hope you get many good rides out of it. Bill

Nice, but one question, what's all that shiny stuff?

 - i'm still wondering about your paint job...is it literally a "hammered" finish, or is that just the color name? - i went into the parts store last night and they do sell a "hammered" finish paint, you know...like a textured paint, but i couldnt' find it by the quart, just rattle cans...

CBJUNKIE---->
I don't believe they sell the rattle can "hammered" paint by the gallon/quart.
I had a friend back in highschool who had an ol sportster a.k.a "skirt-ster" , that had a silver hammered
rattle can paint job on it , and looked pretty slick. I have heard rumors that the bike is still around , and the paintjob has held
up all these years...

nope dude - not according to the man here - claims he sprayed it with a gun...(we PM'ed...)

i have seen it in the can, you're right about that...but at this point i think i'm leaning towards the speckle stone finish...

We did green hammered paint (rattle can) on my daughters go cart. If memory serves me right we got the paint at Wal-Wart
