Default DIY paint job results/ongoing project results

ORALE! after a week of getting high off paint in my garage i'm finally done. just need to add more compound for more shine! what do you all think??

History: my bro crashed it back in 06 and sat in my parents back yard til 2 months ago. fab'd up a mid pipe for a gixxer yoshi rs3, rebuilt carbs, gave it a tune up. not bad for a free bike!

Cool paint, but let me tell you something, i don't like the seat, maybe you should change it.

Yeeeah, seat looks kind of like *****
Paint is very cool, maybe i would chose more brighter colors, but from quality of pictures its impossible to judge
really nice job.

I have a stock seat in in good condition if you're interested.

Great job on the paint as well. I don't see the big deal about the seat though. Looks fine to me.

That is a very creative paint job. Really nice "Rising Sun" design for a Japanese bike. Was that on purpose or just an accident? It's probably pretty politically incorrect in some parts, which makes it all that much better. Either way, it shows some war-like heritage.

I agree, the seat looks wack. It would look so much better with the factory seat. Paint job looks awesome tho, great job.
