Maybe they saw the glare and...
If that paint is as mirror like as it looks and the sun is shining off it, maybe if they hit you it was because they were temporarily blinded. I might do something like that on some parts -- but not brave enough to do the entire bike.
Did you ever get a price for the paint job? I looked online and the paint costs about $2-$3 per square foot but it also requires some new equipment, probably some training, etc -- so not sure what a paint shop would charge.

Hey, never thought about it that way. The paint job is about 4500 to 5000. Just having certain pieces done would bring the price down a lot.

OUTSTANDING WORK!

Saw them... thanks..
I love your paint. I think is awesome.. but I would have gone with chrome parts instead of black.. just my humble opinion..
I think that chrome would give your Spyder the ultimate edge...
chrome swingarm, brackets, pegs etc...

Glad you like them. I thought about chroming the other parts, but I would have had to send the rims away to be done. They wouldn't have been done and returned to me for about 6 weeks. I started the process just before spring, which is the busiest time for paint and chrome shops. This winter I'll be having the rims & sprocket cover chromed. I don't want to make it to shiny (I know to late). I like the painted chrome to black ratio, with a little chrome mixed in (see side picture). Believe me I've gone over this in my head since it's been done. Just think my original plan was to have it painted the Iron Man colors. It would have been a darker red & gold chrome. That was gonna cost more than I wanted to pay. Thanks again for all of the compliments.
