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.
Dont see a buttress thread much these days.

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

Your right Steve, it's not flat black it's Satin Black. I doubt I will use it again, I'm starting to have an affinity to plain old machine grey ?

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