The engone came out mint. This is just before I bobbed it in the frame and put the carbs on for a 'ooooo, look at that' moment.

Roo, just so I am clear (!) The engine was bead blasted and then clear Cerakoted? I was perhaps under the misapprehension you used a silver Cerakote.... ???

The400 was in clear cerecote, I went for a silver on the 550 I'm doing now. I wanted a slightly more, 'not painted' look on the 400. Really stoked with the colour but equally chuffed with the 550 and the brightness of it, it suits what Im dong with it. It was easier for me to do that than paint it anyway, i dont have ovens, hot boxes or the like and if you give it to nathan, It's all done and to a great standard and I can be getting on with something else.
I did the 748/853 over 2 years as a mental challenge after a split up. Best Mechano set Ive ever built. Yours might not tarnish as your ducati cases are not that old and I would have thought, of a different mix of metal. Youve got some goodies stuck on that, love it, how does it go or havent you got it rigged up yet?

A lot brighter as I’m putting more shiny bits on this one

Oooh, aye. Really nice.

Not bad is it? I was hoping it might draw the eye away from the crap state of the cases. At least all the fins are intact ;D
