Default Project Black out FatBOB
So I finally finished up the Bob, did all chrome into gloss black and flat black.. I orderd the rear black progressives they should be here tomorrow.. I needed the bike tuned so I threw on a Cheap Sucker I am probably gonna do a Goodson with the cover powdered gloss black. I did the rocker boxes in flat black everything else Gloss. I was also thinking of doing the Harley Black Rear tail light the one that they make for the bobtail fender not sure on that. What do you guys think leave the rotors alone or they need to be black too?

A little contrast is good... Leave the rotors and maybe change the rear one to match the fronts. Bike looks great.

I like the contrast of denim and gloss black. It allows you to get away with more without the black being overdone.

really looks good. gloss and flat black contrast is nice. I think black rotors would be killer.

BRILLIANT! I am going to powdercoat my wheels, but I'm concerned about the rotors - wonder if you can get em in black.

I like it. I'm thinking of doing the same to the wheels on mine. I'm not going all out with the black out.

black out those rotors! they can be done black no worries! just did a set on a road king... mine have been done for 2 years
just be sure your powder coater knows what they are doing while taping them off and blasting... if they blast where they are not supposed to that will ruin the rotor
