I tried the new Duplicolor Metalcast color called smoke on the valve cover. If you use the red, yellow or blue it really looks like anodized aluminum.

Nice!

Great looking project.

I agree with Nate. You are creating a very sharp bike. I just picked up a 77 650B myself and need lots of help from you and others on what to do and where to go with my restore. I've got some pics posted on the New Members section. Again, great job.
