Excellent work. Hate to think how much that would have cost commercially!

My winter project is to paint a 500K0 paint set in Candy Starlight Gold. I had my Candy Green K0 paintwork done by Menno and I have a NOS Candy Custom Gold tank but would really like a Starlight gold set.
 Not altogether sure why ..obsession I suppose.

Jan B:
As a complete novice to painting with a spray gun i had a very promising result on some test pieces with the method and materials you described.

- need a bigger compressor (size does matter here)
- need to disassemble front and rear hub because already with spokes and rims

It will be more expensive
It will  be more laborious

Thank you very much for posting!!!! ;)
