RE: Painting Decision/Frustrations
OMG those are great paint jobs! I especially like the black tank with the ripped open colors. Very impressive. Now THAT one I really like!
For now, I'll stay with just a couple of colors, but I may just email you and see what your prices are. Thanks.

RE: Painting Decision/Frustrations
I wouldnot recommend Sherman Williams, unless of course you were painting your deck. Personally I would use a Acrylic Urethane Paint from PPG. It is very easy to spray and work with. The mixing ration is easy, even for beginners. Just my thought

Mascman - I thought of doing custom, but it appears to be alot of work. I have the book by JoAnn Bortles of Crazyhorse Painting. The book has many excellent custom ideas, but I believe you need to have a certain amount of finesse, experience and skill to do something custom. It will be much easier for me to achieve a two tone HD scheme - not too hard to do that. I'm getting my daughter and wife an airbrush this year for them to do my daughter's ice skating outfits. Maybe if they get good enough I'll let them do my helmet - maybe later on, they can help me do a custom paint job - for now I'll keep it simple.
Toyrider - Thanks for the advice. I figured the pinstripe would cover the transition between the two paints. All I need to do is get (make) a stencil for the traditional HD panel. Any of you guys have any experience with Sherwin Williams paint instead of PPG? I hear it is less expensive. Don't know anything other than that.

Toyrider - I heard somewhere that Sherwin Williams makes automotive paint. I have not checked into it enough to know whether they are comparable to PPG or not. I'll let you guys know what I find out.

Thanx Dan, the ripped one was my first bike... both my first Harley (a 99 Nightrain) and the first motorcycle I attempted to paint myself.
