Ever since I got my deluxe I have been looking to repaint with a vintage style paint scheme keeping with the spirit of the deluxe design. I was perusing the ridewright gallery since a set of fat 50's is my next big purchase. I found this heritage with the exact paint I have been searching for and I think the black fat 50's with chrome nipples look perfect on her.......what do you guys think ?

 

Very nice! I like it! is that a black and a creme color, or a dark olive and cream color? If it's a dark olive, I like it even more. Nice choice!

 

I believe its black and cream..

 

Nice. For the vintage paint schemes I prefer the late 30's early 40's knucks but i don't have a pic. That is classy looking. Not green unless that is your thing but similar to this.

Why do something that's been done already pic different colors and get to work.

 

That's the million dollar dilemma! I had a hell of a time when I did paint on mine- ended up with black!
I did see the colors I want to use after my paint was done, saw it on a work truck.
I'll end up repainting next year.

 

Its really hard for me I need to actually see it and i have been looking for quite some time this color scheme with the black fat 50's against the wide white walls really grabbed my attention

 

Nothing reeks of non-vintage more than chrome rear fender strut covers.

 

I like it !

 

unless it's fat black spokes . not saying they don't look great , even with the vintage paint scheme , but they sure don't look vintage , not that i'm old enough to know first hand
