Road King Fairing for my Dyna

Ok, So I'm ordering a Road King Fairing for my Dyna today!!

Got a Rattle Can Paint question....

My Bike is Denim Black.

I want my Fairing to be Denim Black, but want to put like a Sun Glow Red
with the metal flake Stripe on it....

I know how to paint it black, how can I Rattle Can a metal flake stripe on it?

Are you talking a pin stripe or a 2" stripe. Eitherway, what I would do is apply a base color of the flake you want and the after it dries apply tape like the stripe you want and then paint everything in the black and while the paint is still tacky or wet pull the tape up and you'll have your stripe. there will be an edge anyway you rattle can it.

you can get flake in a can, you just need to see if you can get a color match... see if HD sells that in rattle can, if they do it is like $20 a can

there is no way to tell you that without first knowing what paint your going to use... also are you going to need a sealer on the plastic, is it primed... has the fairing been blocked out? there is so much that comes into play on this there is way to little info here to tell you what way to go bud. i am more than happy to help but you need to first pick a paint... plus you have to make sure your not mixing paint types or else that will create major issues... hell i dont even like to mix brands
