I did mine last spring and it worked quite well.
I bought an eastwood kit from KMS.
It was about a 5 step process and the results were great.
It helps to do it on a warm day.
Give yourself a good 5 hours because once you start the process there is no stopping.

My experience with the Eastwood kit was less than acceptable, painstaking process and had it all flake off.  Might have had something to do with letting it dry 5 years before using it though.  I had much much better results using the KBS Gold standard kit both on an RD400 Daytona Special as well as a VW tank.  Good people to deal with (the cdn distributor) as well.
