I bought my cross bones last august.
A few months after i got it the clear coat over the deacals started "hazing".
I didn't like the colors of the pinstriping anyway so i had a local guy pinstipe over them in a semigloss black.

All was good untill 4 days ago "overnight" it hazed all around the edges of where it had been pinstriped over......
Before you couldn't rub or flake the hazed clear off this time you could.

So off to the store for some wet dry sandpaper and john deer blitz black
This isn't a how to do a pro paint job more like how to make it black if your not real picky.

Nice. I ride my bones year round in Chicago and paint still looks great sucks that yours got messed up.

 

It's a wierd thing haven't talked to anyone who's had this happen before.

Figures MOCO let the one guy who used to work for chevy decal /clearcoat my bike

 

i actually like how it looked when you started sanding it, the "HARLEY DAVIDSON" was old and worn looking, kinda fit with the old school thing the crossbones was supposed to be going for... what grit paper did you use? and wet or dry sanding? im not running out to the hardware store or anything, just curious

 

Wet sanded it with 800 grit.

 

nice
