October...this is the first thing I thought of when you
posted the Paint work you have done.. this is a Local 52 cadillac..it is way more incredible than these pictures give credit.It has the same Flake as yours! The owner..who is a great guy.......drives it! I see it at a lot of shows I'm at with my Cars and I droool everytime I do. I thought I would share how coool your Paint work is ....by showing you one of my favourite Rides.. Peace, Kev. 
WOW!
thats great! when i did my chev, i wanted to do something crazy with the paint, as it is a mild custom, but i figured with such a big old car it would be too much. i ended up doing it "gray steel metallic". i guess i figured at the time that less is more... i'll have to upload some pics, as i know you are a hod rod guy... that is a wicked caddy... oct.
dug a couple of sets of pedals out of the parts pile...
got the frame nice and smooth, primered and wetsanded... now for the paint treatment... 
just a caution for anyone who hasn't used the House of Kolor kandy colors yet... they go on super thin, it takes a lot of coats for the color to really show up, and it's real easy to get runs. (it's got to be a money making scam, cause the small cans are expensive, the color is thin, so you have to go out and buy more...) 
well, i got the color coats on the frame... still need to do clear coats...
still have to do the fork, and the chainguard. i'm having a hard time photographing this... flash, no flash, lights on, lights off, cant really get the true color or the sparkle to come through in the pics... 
still have a long way to go before this is going to be finished... hope i make the deadline!
and to think I said " don't paint it! "
well,for a Bike that had a Great Color to start.. ..I can say you made it better! excellent work October. Pin-it !
....a set of Skinny Whites and Astro Supreme's?
Pin-it !
well, i must admit i did struggle for a while about whether or not to paint it...
i do recognize the value in keeping things all original. i have done restorations on vintage Vespas, but in the same breath i shaved, filled and customized a 62' impala (it has 59' caddy tail lights... and flamethrowers...) but i got to thinking.... the hot rod car, is about taking a stock vehicle and changing it, modifying it to suit the whims of the owner, to make it your own, to make it go faster, or to give it a personality. it wouldnt have done me any good to leave it the way it was. it would have sat in the back of my garage, unridden... for the sake of what? a little value?
it looks a lot better painted and i see you have painting skills as well very cool. how smooth is the finish with the glitter spray layer added?
