very very well done what did you use for paint?

I bought the paint from hyper-formance, and polished up the chrome. My friend saved me some dough by painting it professional for free just because of the love for vintage bikes. I made it a rider on purpose cause i have never seen a krate stingray cruising New York, plus the older collectors get confused how a young guy like me knows about vintage bikes.
 
Wow, very sweet bike, and VERY nice job!
And you know, sometimes I enjoy your photography as much as your bikes - that shot in the fall leaves is just spectacular.
