Got the idea for that color after seeing your Defender 90.

Looks sweet, the new color rules! Best non-cruiser color I've seen on a cruiser, if that makes sense.

Nice work you've done on your rig. I'm not experienced at all with paint so don't make fun of me too much but is that single stage or does it require a clearcoat?

Thanks, Kevin

I'm not either. A buddy is doing the painting. It's a two stage paint/clearcoat.

HELP!

The odometer is turning backwards, the other gauges work spuratic or not at all.
The brakes need to be pumped once before they will stop, only once. The horn doesn't work and it needs a front end alignment.
And no I don't have pics to post, but soon.

Could be air in the lines for the brakes. Have they been bled? I'd check all your connections for the guages too.

Final Pics

It's done...all but a few issues to work out.
In some pics it looks blue, especially in the shade, but it definetly has a gray cast that makes it really different.
The pics don't reflect the true color. It looks so much better in person!

turned out great. excellent color choice. too many times when people go with non-OEM colors it just looks out of place on a 40. Your's turned out great and looks like it came from the factory that way.
