I'm thinking of painting my 48 either flat/matte black for my christmas present ...does anyone have pics of a 48/iron/nightster with this color combo?

Thanks in advance

 

I sprayed mine with HD's flat black. Doing it yourself or paying someone?

 

wow that looks fantastic i love it - is that a solid rear 16' and is the front 19'?and whats the ride like without shocks does you stomach reach your mouth over every bump?.

 

Did you use a spray guy for that, SF or a rattlecan? Did you get it from the dealer? I was checking on the Denim Black from the dealer and it's like $80 for a quart.

 

That was actually the HD paint sprayed out of a $500 SATA JET gun. I had enough left over from a customer's bike, so I did mine too.

Yes, it's pricey.

I over-reduced the paint and it was still too thick. My needle was 1.3mm. Better off using a 2.0mm or so. The finish isn't as good as you may think. It was orange peely, had a decent amount of dirt nibs, you can't tack rag it, dry time is like FOREVER!, etc, etc. If I could turn back the clock I would have just rattlecanned it.

 

Bare metal?


Rattlecan flat black?


Flat black with graffiti?


Dragonfly green? lol
