I used this http://www.duplicolor.com/products/engine.html. The color was the Ford Blue. Just use the high heat primer(do about 6 light coats) then sand it lightly(i used 1500grit) than paint it with the Engine Enamel.(I used 12 light coats then sanded with 2000grit.) It will look alittle hazy after you sand it, just use 3M rubbing compaound to bring it up to a nice shine. Thats it.

great work. It must feel good to fabricate your own parts and know that there is nothing like that on the road. Do you notice any difference in handling with the front bar mounted?
