Default My new custom Heritage tins paint job

Just got the bike put back together again today, and it's still on the lift and will be until we can ride. So I appologize for no sexy outdoor pics! Painting by JT's Custom Paint Garage in Moravia NY. www.badbaran.com

the After and before:


and the paint:






I still have to put on a few spare parts, but I have to say, I absolutely love the retro look, the stanchions, and front/rear fender rails.....And, I'm infatuated with dragonflies, and Jason captured them beautifully for me. The wings have minute dot highlights, cross hatching and glitter over them. They look incredible in real life. Hope you enjoy as much as I sure do!

Kind of thought the same thing at first. Dragonfly's don't do anything for me but I do like the blue.

It's totally a girls bike, and they are eating this baby up in the Ladies of Harley and QOTR Facebook groups! I'd have no problem reselling to another woman, but I'm keeping her! The paint is the same as the original 1957 Chevy turquoise on the Bel Air.

Oh, and the silver pinstripe around the tank, is the original from the black....he's that good! He said he just masked it well.

Well that explains that! Seriously it's beautiful.
