Hi all, does anyone here have advise on Harleys paint? Such as what not to use, I just want to do some grapics or flames. I'm looking at Dupont hot hues and want to go over the factory clear coat or is this a no no? Thanks in advance.
Dave

You should be good to go...

Wet sand, do whatever paint scheme and clear it!

Wha-la! Easy as 1-2-3
