The paint came out pretty good. A few bleeds, mismatches, and tape holidays to take care of, but it looks great. I think Ian might have a career in the bike industry.

The white has been applied and looks good. Unfortunately, I don't have time to start on the black, there's a Bone Yard at the Still House with my name on it. I always unmask after paint to allow the paint edges relax a little and prevent the tape from imprinting the paint over night. Once it's clear coated, you really can't see the imprinting, but I know it's there.
It was just too windy to paint yesterday, with gusts up to 45 mph. I paint with the garage door partially open for both additional light and ventilation. The wind was disturbing my spray pattern, so I only shot the etch and seal primes which require post sanding any way. Today looks good though.
I got wrapped around the axle on the blue selection. I was originally going to go with the bottom one but decide it is too soft of a color and will go with the Brian as it will pop against the black and white much better. The HFV is too dark.
