Awesome, thanks. Did you clear coat over the top or just leave it?

I just leave it as it is but i suppose you could clear coat it if you want to.

Quick update, got all the gears set up just trying to decide to go with the black Deore XT or silver Deore XT cantilevers, i'm thinking silver
The Deore DX seatpost is fitted but i'm just not sure the Flite saddle goes well with it,i'm 50/50 on that one at the moment.
And for once the sun was out so i've managed to get some photos of the bike, the first couple are in the shade and the rest in the sun, i think it gives you a good idea how the paint changes.

Think it's a really fun idea for the paint - certainly not something I would have thought of for a '93 Explosif!

Just wondering why you didn't do the 'splat' on the stem and bars also?

Titanium bolts arrived aswell, some like the ones for the stem i got the measurements correct others i didn't lol i'll need to cut the seatclamp one down or add some more small washers to space it out. As for the brake cable guide bolt i just got that one completely wrong lol so i'll need to order another but i'll use micrometers this time instead of guesstimating

The reason for the stem and bars not getting the splatting treatment was just because the original 1990 Konas never had it and i'm not really 100% sure on that look.
