Not keen on the cap. The chrome looks a tad low market............
Proof that four strokes are over complicated

It does look well Mike. I picked a colour that wasn't quite as orange as the stock colour but still had a 70's look about it.

More practice on candy painting. This is a turquoise candy over a very coarse glitter silver basecoat. The picture doesn't do the effect justice. The shade is very near Maui Blue, but on steroids :lol:
