(I posted this in general too) Has anyone had any experience with color changing paint? I am looking at getting my bike painted and would like at changing paint from dark blue to dark red. I found this site http://www.duplicolor.com/products/mirage.html as well as some other things. I am considering either base coat or flake. Any suggestions? Which do you guys like better?

Base coat


Flake


I am kinda leaning towards the flake. I kinda like the black in the background. Plus I think that would tie in my black frame a little better...

 

I like the flake far better.

 

That flake looks INSANELY BAD ***. I'd go with that.

 

I used the duplicolor Green/Purple on the Shovel in my sig pic. I sprayed the base and mid-coats, and then had a friend at a body shop spray "real" clear on them. That was in 2003, paint still looks great. I had less than $100.00 in the paint job. That flake is bad a$$ though, be hard to pass up on some big ol glitters.

 

I am going to go with the flake and then use this chrome paint to make my spiderwebs over it all


I think it will look awesome!

 

Painted a few of my race bikes in Bass boat flake. The clearcoat on super heavy flake is a challenge. For the HD I love the fine flake.

 

If it doesn't look awesome, you wont break the bank re-doing it. I think I bought two kits for the tins on mine, and had plenty to work with and then some. Your results should be similar.

Good choice on the glitters BTW...

 

Here are a few shots of mine....orange/green/yellow. Its special order factory paint.

 

That looks great!

One of my dads buddies has that color on his ultra, I think his is an 07 or 08. Red with that as the secondary color. it is definately different.. everyone calls his bike the rainbow bike.
