This might have been said before and this might make alot of people flip out but has anyone just got so sick of their stock flashy paint that they flat rattle can painted their bike?? I read an article about a guy that got so sick of people thinking he was a newbie that he bought barbaque paint and painted his bike.. anyone else do something like this????

I say go for it! Rattle away! I have seen a bunch of guys rattle can their tins and came out perfect! Even seen a few cars done that way, clearcoat and all, and it was hard to tell it wasn't done in a booth.
The whole trick to it is to prep it properly.

I rattle caned underneath the fender cuz a chunk of paint chiped off and I didn't feel like dealing with insurance and I didn't want it to start to rust so I hit it with some spray paint.

Yep. I painted my FXSTC with rustoleum flat black. You can see pics under my profile. Someone else posted this link the other day that you should really look at if you are serious about spray paint. http://www.jockeyjournal.com/forum/s...ighlight=paint
