Thank you sir.
Quick Makeup Touchup.
On the trip to South Dakota in June I encountered lots of wind blowing lots of sand, and then lots of rain on the way back. The Honda logo on the fairing front took it the worst, so, out of curiosity I filled in the "O" with a permanent marker to see how long it would last. Seems it is doing pretty well, so I went ape on it.
The "O".

In order to keep the over-inking under control, I took precautions. Given the condition of the test subject, I was cautious not to be overly cautious.

And after a back breaking, mind numbing marathon of nearly 20 minutes, I had this:

Yeah, it could be done better, but the gold is bubbling so, no matter how good I do it, it will never pass close inspection. And it really does look okay from a few feet away.
And, most importantly, it looks perfect from the driver's seat. .🤪

Never used the gold paint, but I did use some that said it was chrome. While it did ot look exactly like chrome, it was a lot shinier than the aluminum paint. Sprayed some clear over it and it wasn't bad. The markers did do a nice job on Bike and Dennis project, a satin finish enamel would work also.
I used it on the engine covers on my 2012 right after I got it.
Sorry about the reflections.
