Looking good from here Sean.
What is the cost per can of this paint?
I was tempted to do something similar with the 920 frame as the local autosupply sells epoxy paint in spray cans that are made to order. I'm not sure exactly how they work, the catalyst must stay separate until use. I know that once usage starts the open time for the can is about 2 hrs, then the paint inside turns solid.
These fairly large cans are $45 each
, so I chickened out and went with powder coat instead. They did a great job. Not cheap, $400, however that included the sidestand, primary cover and also all sand blast prep. Usually I do that myself at a local shop called Ublast. They rent large industrial sand blast units at $80 per hour. It generally takes me a couple of hours to do a thorough job on a frame and swing arm, so the all in price of $400 for a nice job wasn't looking bad at all.
