Default Harley Paint Idea

I live on a Civil War battlefield in Fredericksburg, VA and I have this idea to turn my 2003 into a show bike. I’m looking for custom sheet metal and an artist that could design a paint scheme depicting the Fredericksburg Chancellorsville battle. Any thoughts?

If it's a show bike, call Mario Terzi and just have him engrave the tins instead of doing paint.

There was a guy on here a while back that had his bike done in a civil war theme. I don't recall his name but the bike was done by a local painter. Mark Brown Studios did the paint and it was unbelievable. I'm sure if you contact them they would have some pics of the bike. They are located in Darlington MD. (410) 557-5500 is there number if you want to try them.

I've seen that bike at the Timonium show.

Re painting the Harley is great idea. There are some special paints available for painting this wonderful bike. But you have to choose right color combinations to give it a very good look.
