Yep. We're putting up a basket Fat Boy for Butch. He decided to do his own paint work. He's doing a great job considering he's never done it before.

Rattle can can be fun. That looks good.

I've been playing with the rattle can as well. With a good progressive wet sanding, clear and buffing, this fender really came out very well. I can't believe how deep the turquoise looks after buffing.

Let's see more pics after they are mounted.

I love seeing spray can paint jobs. It's amazing the results people achieve.
