you forgot to paint the wheels, even though you did get the spark-plug 
the webbing looks good, but don't over do it. |

I'll decide once everything is together. I did already learn that lesson about the webbing though. This is really my first paint job on something besides a RC car, so I definately have some lessons to learn. I like how it is turning out so far though. |

looks good.. just be sure to keep it out of the sun for 2 months, and then wax it good after 2 months, and then try to still keep it out of the sun.. Acrylic lacquer fades really easily and it's not very durable.. easy to make shine deep tho
Don't wax it right away or you'll end up ruining it.
if you do another, I'd reccomend using candy transparent colors to get the effect you want.. in a BC/CC urethane.. |

From what I see you have just the right balance, I think it looks REALLY good. I can't wait to see the bike finished!!!
