The ugly side of building bikes

So "G Unit" is pretty much done, but me not thinking cause more work today. I was running the bike and while I should have just been running it off the bottle I had the tank sitting on the backbone. With one swift move I sent the tank flying off and watched it bounce a couple of times on the cement floor before I could get my hands on it. So today I spent a good portion of it repainting a tank. It wouldn't have been bad if it was just straight paint, but the metal flake in it made it a little more of a challenge. It the "big picture" of things it could always be worse. It took me a few hours, but the tank probably looks better now than it did before I messed it up. I got the rear fender gold flaked as well as the end caps on the fake oil tank. Will get some pictures up tomorrow hopefully.
