The shade of the gold got a little darker when the paint dried and in normal daylight.

Also painted the turn signal rack and support bar, that's it for the gold accents. I didn't want to over do it, it's only 4 parts I could remove and repaint if the gold doesn't work out.

I bought this small buffing kit that attaches to a drill, perfect size for scooter body panels.

Thanks! I'm happy with the finish of the paint, all the sanding and prep work paid off.
