Gents; the assassin bike got its paint design set in. Thanks to those who had ideas on paint schemes. I wanted the bike to be “dark and mysterious” for its anti-hero lady killer rider. The black will go with her outfit and the red represents the “kills” she is hired to do. Of course she only accepts contracts on bad guys.
I will let this dry for 2-3 days then give several coats of a clear varnish. Once that is done I will mount the body panels and fenders. While the paint rests and dries I will work to finish the front tire assembly so I can get to my killer babe!!

Chris, that came out looking great! Depending on what paint you used for the striping I will suggest Testors Wet Look clear lacquer for your top coat. If you were after a shiny finish that is…

Chris, Dan usually has a can or two of the Testors Clear on the shelf. I would suggest using the clear on the fairing and body panels only, NOT the frame. Reason being that the frame and running gear on the real bike isn’t shiny, but rather a satin or semi gloss.
