Finally got my bike back together after being custom painted. I had it painted marble red...which is very hard to get good pictures of. It is so much better in person! I have not posted pictures on here before so I hope this works!

I once had a bowling ball that was pretty close to that purty red marble effect I didn't know it could be applied via spray gun.

Damn, I like that!
Triumph has something like this as an option on the Thunderbird. Gets my attention every time I stop in the dealership.

Ryk, my understanding of the process is to spray the base color, let it dry and they spray the over color and use wadded up cellophane or plastic wrap to make the swirls. Or so Ive been told...then clear coat.
