Talking New Painted Tins

Just wanted to post my newly painted tins
I did not paint them, A painter in Dallas that works for my brother did.

I gave him the pin up girls and the basic color to start with then told him to do what ever the thought would look good.
He went with a bomber theme since the old bombers had pin up girls on them

Oh, the base color is not black, it is a deep dark red that he made up, it does have some black in it but has a lot of red purl.
When you get it in the bright sunlight, you can see the red but you have to be pretty close or it looks black

Hope I can get them installed without any scratches, I can be such a klutz sometimes

The dude can paint

Now that you mention it, it does remind you of Evil Knevil

Anyone know where I can get a set of white leathers

Nice but like pete said get a pic of them in the sun. The reflection of the florescent lights throws it off.

Looks a bit like a Captain America theme.

What's the deal with all the random white stripes?
I'm kidding.

A couple of shots in the sunlight would be nice to look at. From what I can see, those things look great.

The man's an artist - friggin awesome. That paint job pays hommage to a lot of things including the 70s red white and blue paint jobs Harley was doing. I would put that on my bike in a heartbeat. Can't wait to see them on the bike.
