My buddy rattle canned his 2002 Ultra back in about 2005. He used Walmart flat black. He has about 10 bucks in his paint job.

I'm considering doing it in a couple of months when the house is finally finished and I have a garage instead of a lock-up.

That way I can try out a couple of color combinations at low cost until I make up my mind what I really want.

Started sanding down my tins today! Gotta finish sanding tomorrow, then primer goes on hopefully.

I'm using Rustoleum painters touch x2. Going with OD green on one side, flat black on other side, with flat white stripe going down the center. Should look pretty dope once finished.

I had done some paintwork on one of my previous bikes (it was a Honda). I used Rustolium Laquer Spray. After I painted it, I sanded it down with 1200 then 3000 then buffed. Nobody ever believed that it wasnt painted in a booth. It was just as shiney, if not shinier than the rest of the bike. Its all about what paint you use and how you prep/finish it

Rattle canned the front fender and spotlights this spring because it was to late to get them done properly. Just sent out the spotlights and some other stuff to get P/C. The fender, that's staying because it matched great, unlike the spots which were showing lots of wear for some reason.
