Here's something that I think is along the lines of what you're looking for.

This one is supposed to be kinda... "worn" looking. The paint dribble and scuffs were customer requested for the "Barn Fresh" effect he wanted.








Here's a different bike we did for the same customer. This is somewhat similar:







Hope that helps.

the blue out of the barn look is pretty cool actually as far as Turquoise and Black goes and I am not the expert on this but I think any 2-tone blue harley did back in those days was always with birch white on the bottom here is a picture of an old pan I found on the web this is pretty much the way all the turquoise pans I have seen look
