Looks great to me!  :cheers:

could you please tell me what type of paint you used because I have to paint my Kat tank.  It is currently stripped down to the metal after being sealed.  

Thanks

Quotewhat type of paint you used
I bought the paint at a local NAPA auto store. I believe it was a DupiColor brand paint. The Pint of paint was about $39.00 Mixed & All.
The Girl who did it for me did a great job, she even got the little blue specs in the paint that were in the Black 89 GS.
And if you know how to use a spray gun your all set. I found that with this paint w/specs. It came out of the gun better @ 40PSI instead of the recommended 35PSI.
Hope This Helps

Or if you want to spend a bit more this guy can get you are perfect match, In an Aerosol can nonetheless. This is my Brother-In-Laws Best Bud, so be nice. LOL   :guns:

Thanks!  I want to paint on an extreme budget.  I'm not too fussy so I think I will go with auto paint in a rattle can from NAPA.  They can do it at one the NAPA stores here.  I'm not looking for A1 finish or anything.
