Almond and Burgundy Spree!

I got tired of my plain black paint job, so I repainted her with a 50's Vespa in mind. I was going for that classic scooter look, and from what everyone tells me, I pulled it off.

I sanded and paint continuously for 4 days for it to come out the way it did. I have to sand down stickers that had been previously painted over. The front leg shield turned out 10 times smoother than the previous paint. I am very happy that the plain black is gone!

It's not perfect, but for $20's worth of spray paint and sand paper, I couldn't be happier!!!

I guess you can see some similarities. It's a paint job I'd had planned for awhile. Now I just need some side panels to paint...
