Re: 1966 SBBW pro street

Guess I'll weigh in, I happen to love the sheen of satin, but make sure you use a satin clear as you'll start polishing the finish every time you rub it. The Harley guys use a product called Ace-It to detail the satin parts of their bikes and keep it from shining. Also applying the paint is quite difficult, as any flaws need a complete respray as the satin shows differently sheen wise when spotted. You can't sand and respray or polish a mark out. So I hear, no experience yet, just gathering info.

Color is very difficult, Dino is probably staying that light blue green color, but your at paint first. I really like that color on our trucks its very bright and shows the lines well. But you have two blue/whites already and a dark green would be great contrast for your collection. Good luck, it will look great no matter whick way you go.
