Just painted my Dyna engine...
So, I got tired of reading all these posts where people were talking about painting... Some did, some...Who knows? So I just spent the last 6 hours painting my engine, transmission, forks, a/c, horn, etc... Here are some before and afters...
Before:
Before (in the rain)
Now, I have a bunch of pictures from the 'during' phase, but I'm beat... I don't feel like battling with them... So- here's the afters.
After:

Yeah, I just went out and took the horn back to chrome. I like the two-tone look. On the A/C, Horn, and forks, I just used Plasti-dip. It's a preliminary test, if I decide I don't like it, I'll take it off... Glad I did when it came down to the horn.
The engine on the other hand... I just used BBQ Grill paint. Yup. Went to go get the H-D wrinkle paint, and guy at the stealership was a dick, so I decided to just go with Lowe's.

I assume you just wrapped the pipes etc to paint it? No stripping it down?
Yeah, only things I removed were the entire a/c assembly, horn, and plug wires. I disconnected the fuel line, just to get it outta the way.

I wanted it dull, otherwise I would've used something semi-gloss or satin.
Cheap? That it was. Maybe $30 invested...besides, it's just a bike, it's not like I tattooed 'White Trash' on my sons face.
