Man you work fast. Have you decided what you're going to do for paint?

As of right now my plan is to do the bedliner spray on this set and I am trying to put another set together off of eBay to take my time on and paint myself. I am going to try something I haven't seen with the bedliner spray though. As you see I have a diamond plate thing going on with this bike so I am going to try and make a diamond plate insert on the sides of the gas tank to epoxy on and spray over. So the sides of the tank will have a diamond plate texture. Don't know if it will work, but you don't know till you try right?
