Excellent, would like to see pictures of the green and clear powder coat close up to see how it looks. Did you spray a clear lacquer over the whole scooter when you added the green paint.

Yes Gary clear lacquer, then green candy ( or more precisely something called "ink") then more lacquer. I even managed to fill some of the smaller dints with lacquer to smooth out.
Its difficult to get the effect in pictures, when the sun hits it it really comes alive, and get a 3d effect :)
