What do you think?

Well, I've taken some candle holders we've had in a bathroom for the last 5 years and used them for testing. Both came out exactly as I had hoped. I believe I will go with the red first. Then, later this year, when I drop the Invidia exhaust on with the rolled titanium tips, I might swap to the blue to match. (Or keep it red)

Criticisms and opinions very welcome. Ref:

I apologize about the crappy iPhone pics in advance.

Before - cleaned up and polished the holders:

Then I washed with a bit of acid, then wiped lightly paint thinner/water (20%/80%) and began spraying:

Then I stood them up to one another. Damn it! I didn't spray heavy enough to gloss it!:

Time to break out the polish and buff for 15 minutes. Getting there:

Not too shabby!! Time to do the other in blue, spaying a little heavier to reduce polish time. Wax and shine:

Please let me know what you think!
