    Ok, all the plastics are now drying from the black paint job....tomorrow, it's time for the tank.

    My original idea was to make all the bike black, but i got more and more convinced that painting the tank in silver grey would give a nice "retro" effect, and as the bike's gonna become a cafe racer...

    But now, at the 75% of the job i'm pretty undecided,and i got in my hand enough of both colours....

    what's your opinion, guys?
    :)

    That would be nice...unfortunately, with the fact that i'm handy as a grizzly bear and i'm doing the job with a set of cans form a 99 c store at least for the moment i have to get a plain colour.

    Anyway, i'm evaluating also a third choice...but i'll wait until i tried it to see if is possible ;)
