I painted the front fender, it came out perfect. Only problem is it's just a bit too light compared to the tank. I'm going to try something a little darker now.

 

I found the front fender to be easy as well. The tank was a whole different beast.

 

My kid wanted black denim fenders on his Nightster instead of the factory silver. I used H-D Vivid Black and the H-D Satin Clearcoat in the spray can ($14). As long as the black was smooth, it was nearly impossible to not do a perfect job with the Denim spray can. I was actually quite shocked (and pleased) how easy it was to get a consistant finish with the spray can.

 

where did u get that paint from

 

go to John Deer and get some Blitz Black satin enamel....it will look good years down the road and its available in quarts and gallons.....a gallon is only like 30$ the quart is also cheap

 

I don't think that these guys have a Flat black but damn it is good paint. I used regular paint on my cars headlight rings and would need to repaint them ever couple months (rocks and debris from roads) with this stff it has lasted over 2 years. I also used to paint my quads foot pegs all the time and this stuff is just so much durable and has a rubberized effect.

 

For the Harley Davidson paint, just go to your dealers parts counter and ask for it. They have, or can get any current color and clearcoat in a spray can. The MoCo has always used very high quality acrylic laquer.

 

So I heard the duplicolor bumper paints looks real good. Any of y'all ever used it.

 

Just used krylon flat black on my instrument panel. It looks good but it's just a little too light. Anyway to darken it up?

 

I'd do this first - first of all its pretty easy to get a good result, looks good and best of all - after you've run in a while if you don't like it you can peel it off again. If you do like it - get them powder coated over the winter, its cheap, looks good and is more durable than paint.
