Cantdr55: I've seen photos of this on line somewhere, and it looks good, when I had my tins painted, the guy that did it asked me if i wanted the rocker boxes flamed also...I passed because of the extra fee, and the bike wasn't there anyway. try getting some of that krylon wrinkle paint...it has the same texture as the factory wrinkle, and you can practice on it.

I say go for it. If you are confident you can do it, do it. You might want a heavy brush so as to keep a smooth line over the wrinkle finish.

thanks guys. Gonna try on an old part first and try and work it out. I was actually more concerned about longevity and how it would all hold up over time.
