The Paint Work Has Started !
The tins are being painted harley vivid black and antique white (a bit on the creme side) with the classic harley logo in vivid black.
Here are some shots of the colors layed down they still need some touch up work they look almost yellow under the heat lamps but its more of a creme color. There will be 6 coats of clear wet sanded between each coat and a final coat of clear ceramic on the front fender and tank to help prevent chipping from the occassional road debris. There should be that deep glass look when finished.
Here is a mock up of the logo

Looking great Ed. The black almost looks blue under those lamps. Teh new rims are really going to set that bike off. Maybe one day I'll get a paint job, but probably jsut a new bike. LOL Post a pic of that Chevelle!

Can't wait to see the final product...great choice of colors. The PPG box fits the fenders perfectly...for a stand...found that out on the last job I did.
