Default possible new paint



As yo can see this paint theme is really common.
Not just not me, I like different.
o this is what I'm thinking about



The plan is to add some chrome, I'm a chrome ***** period.
The wheels may be chrome 3 spoke with spikes between the spokes, I have a lot of chrome spikes already.
I have already ordered a new 2 into 1 chrome bassani exhaust.

So what do you guys think. Oh, I will be adding pow chrome primary side cover and a purple ribbon for Domestic violence on the cam cover.

I just received a paint set from Colormania about a month ago. Mine isn't as fancy as the one you are looking at but I'm very happy with it. My bike was red originally but it was dropped coming off a trailer by a friend of mine. Dealer quoted me $1200 for a red Fat Bob tank. I decided to get the whole set from Colormania instead for $1300. I believe the number of the one I ordered was the E134.

I looked at the flames but nothing caught my eye. The VTX I am working on has 11 murals all in 3d, starts out as natural flames then to red marble.
So you can see i am hard to please.

my painter is really good but just too slow to use him any more.

My paint was done by colormania, the finish is really good but the paint seems a bit soft, scratches easily but they are easily buffed out

Colormania does good work, but they are slow too. It took them three times longer than estimate to turn around my fender.
