I wouldn't have thought to paint something like that in black as I would have thought it would not look too good. Its come up surprisingly well. Looks lovely.

Excellent job Shawn, but I don't see how it's a test run for flat black, it sure looks like gloss to me.

What make & model of motorbike? Is it a build in progress or something you'd have to disassemble?
