Default My flamed exhaust.

Just thought I would share my steps in the making of my flamed exhaust as i shared them on another board. Please feel free to crituque me, and tell me what I can do to improve my efforts and create a better final product.
I did get a buildup on the edge around the tape. I waited until the final layer of powder just started to flow, pulled it from the oven, and removed the tape. I didn't see any buildup then, but I did after the final cure. Any ideas what could have caused this?
Also, is there like a dull overcoat? Most bikes don't look this glossy. I need to tone the whole thing down a little.

This is my test piece, before I do the actual one on my bike. I bought this off of eBay. Mine will also be a different color, and I am going to try and do a couple things differently, like make the fade bigger, and tone down the gloss.


First, I apply the first color of the fade.
