quote: outstanding work as per usual Ben. Can only give you 2 thumbs up coz thats all i got [not an inbread hillbilly you know].Love the brushed alloy look to the paint, so much i used the idea a couple of weeks ago for a mates bike in red. Pheonix might not sound like a good name but it did rise from the ashes.
Got any pics ?
yes, lots but i am finding it difficult to get clear pics of the finish, most phones are better cameras than my camera.

i used a black base with HOK marble and dragged a fine brush through it.

This is it finished and in the sunlight [summer here so when the cloud breaks it shine bright but no heat bbrrr] I put kandy red over the brushed stuff and put a few coats of HOK kameleon copper/gold/red. Then it was buried under 6 coats of 2K clear done in 2 stages, 3 coats cured and flattened then another 3 coats.

A shot of the belly pan, you can just about see the grained effect.

All the panels. My mate had no idea what i was going to do as he gave me free run. Lucky for me he loved it. I could not do all the panels in one go as i dont have the space, so i did them in groups.
