Now that could work. You did a good job I'll admit, but will it last? Time will tell all. 321,000 miles on KZ's that I can remember. Not going to see any more.

"but will it last? Time will tell all."

I Don't see why it wouldn't for the paint is Rattle Canned, not the clear coat which is a two part Sherwin Williams Clear...

PFC FNG Offline User I've got the sickness!!! Posts: 200 Thank you received: 0	Do you have any more details on the clear? I am looking at rattle canning my bike and have been indecisive over clears. How difficult was it to put on? I know it would not be any fun if it was easy, but does it have to be this much fun? 84 ZX750 GPZ (Waiting for paint) Eastpoint, Mi

Black: Dupli Color Acrylic Enamel
Orange: Dupli Color Metal Cast Orange (used Ground base, think metal flake primer)

Sherwin Willams 2 phase Clear Coat.
RS6200 Clear Coat
RS9200 Hardner

Was a spray gun required for the Sherwin Williams products?
Nope, home depot/ace hardware and paint suppliers have Preval Power Units... Was surprised how well this worked.
It took a couple fo tries to get it right with no drips or extreme orange peel but after figuring out speed and distance off the piece, all good.

www.prevalspraygun.com/about.htm

And I guess they were mixed prior to application? 4:1 ratio, I just mixed it in the jar itself...
