Spraying Metalflake and Candy Paint - Kawasaki with Kodak Inspired Art - The Kodakasaki Paint Job

Anyone who watched the BMW tank painting video a few weeks ago saw this other tank hanging beside the R90 tank - it's for a buddy's Kawasaki GPZ550 and I'm giving it a wild metalflake and candy paint job based on old Kodak camera film logos.
We're in Rochester, NY which is home base for Kodak and the company has a lot of history here. My buddy is leaving town soon and this Kodakasaki paint job will be a nice reminder of all the good times that were had here.
In the previous video (here: • BMW R90/6 bodywork and... ) I primed the tank, did a TON of body work, and laid the black base coat. We pick up in this video by mixing and spraying the silver hot rod metalflake followed by some more clear coat to protect it.
Next five stripes of different colors are painted on using an airbrush - they're House of Kolor Kandy paint so the flake shines out from underneath them. Finally a last few layers of clearcoat are put on to seal the deal.

I've had an 83 GPz for around 20 years as a 'retirement project bike'. I've finally got back at it and with vids like yours for incentive, hopefully the old girl will live another day. Cheers from Eastern Canada!

I got directed here from BARF. You sir are an artist. That fuel tank is beautiful. I will go watch more of your videos now.

Wow thank you! I hope you'll be able to catch this bike riding around your area soon. Cheers!

Nice job, Thanks for sharing! Did you use a urethane clear over the candy?

[@roodlum]

Thanks for watching! Yes, candy paint needs a clearcoat over top for protection. I gave it a few layers of clear over top to cover the candy paint (and to smooth out the large flake, and the transition where it met the black)
