Yep...I remember that...ol' Tex is modest but his work is awesome. And me...you wouldn't want me to paint the side of your house!

Well painted carbon does look fantastic! That green is nice but brighter than I’m after, thinking I might need a layer of “smoke” over it, like a black candy to calm it down a bit.

Side note: Are you a painter?

Ya Rob, and candy colors are just a “tinted clear” that’s what makes them transparent, so the more coats you put down, the more the color deepens. That is why I suggest the concentrated candies to get deeper coverage with less coats, giving a darker final appearance - if you want even darker, spray an initial coat of clear, tinted with a little black mixed in it as a start. The darker the base color (before the candy color) the darker the final appearance will be.

Some say he is like The Phantom, Ghost who Paints but for a bloke who hadn't touched a spray gun for 20 years he did a pretty good job on his own R3 a few years ago.

I would love to do that for ya, but as Pete said, that job I did on mine was the first time in twenty some odd years I’ve done any painting. The reason is, believe it or not, even though I work at a collision repair shop (in the production office, not a tech) it took almost an act of Congress to be able to pull it off. Had to do it over a holiday shut down period. It is such a high production shop that there is never any down time between production jobs to squeeze in a custom job
Sorry
