Default Finished a little painting today

Finally got my bike all back together after my lowside at Jennings GP New Years eve.

I wanted to go with stockish graphics so this is what i ended up with.

Here is how it was.

Nice job. Clean and Simple. Did you paint it yourself?

I sprayed everything in my buddy's garage on Monday. Prep work sucks. I still have a bit of colorsanding to do to get the orange peel out but I just wanna ride the damn thing. I used Spicy Orange Mica and Midnight Blue Metallic (Both are stock '03 Mazda colors that I've always liked). Painting is a lot of work.

Looks good. Is the front fender still different, or is that just in the picture?

The front fender is actually the same. I used the same color for the wings as was my last paint job. I also have another fender that is orange to see if I like that one better.
