That's right, the boss is asking for help. I want to keep the black pearl base, but the rest is up to you.

I just want to see what other guys can come up with

Hey Dude, how are you?

How's the hand? The head? Anything else?

I'm no good at custom paint. I just haven't done it. I have a factory pearl flame job on my Deuce, but other than that, I've never paid much attention to paint jobs.

I'll check around online and look for some ideas, and maybe I can take off on that. If not, please know I tried?

JB

I'm just fine. Life's pretty much back to normal, just starting to get a parts list in order now.

Wow, that's good to hear. You scared the poop outta me.

What do you think of the "real fire" paint jobs? Just for me, that's what I'd want if I were going custom right now. ??

fire's cool but there's lots of it out there, and I can't do that myself. I ain't that good

Well it sounds like it ain't your thing, but I'd love to try it some time. They sell video instructions, airbrush templates and paint sets (House of Color) for the DIY person, like this:
