I have installed all kinds of chrome on my 09 fxdc. I am going to have it painted and looking for ideas. It is now vivid black. If you guys would post photos of your paint jobs to give me some ideas I would appreciate it.

You could look at some of the custom sets available from HD for ideas. I like the Screamin Eagle Dyna paint with scallops.

I have one I got on Ebay for a good deal. My Bob was vivid black and I hated how dirty it looked all the time. The lighter color looks clean when it isn't if you know what I mean.

You could also two-tone what you have or use the black for a base.

I actually had some decals made up and clear-coated over them.

You could get some air brushing in candy burgundy red which looks pitch at night but pops out in daylight!

My FXDC was 2-tone silver and black from the factory. Looked nice, but not what I was going fore. I painted it Ford Tuxedo Black Metallic with House of Kolor Red/Gold Translucent flames. When its sitting on a dark garage it looks black, but in the sun it really pops.

Did paint about five years ago. Loved the paint but it was starting to show scars. Had the same scheme redone and got it back together last weekend.
