Thanks to Stratton who got me motivated to do some prep work before the convention, I decided I would play around with my spare VC. I'm letting it cure for 48 hours, so its not installed yet, but here is some pics I got going.
I just sanded it down, used some high temp gray primer, then did two coats of high temp gold, taped off the letters, and did 3 coats of high temp flat black(to match my wheels, cusco bar, and oil reservoir tank). I'm going to wet sand it tomorrow right before I install everything to make it real smooth, but I think it looks real good, the gold doesnt look too gaudy at all.
Once the wind cuts out, I got to sand my tails down and respray them with a ruby red clear coat to make them all red, the old clear coat is starting to run thin.
