Your flames look great, not so sure about the color though.... I tend to like flames done in pink alot more j/k your bike looks great. When I had mine put on the lady helping out said if I ever wanted to remove them I could use "oven cleaner" ----- Im not gonna go putting any ofTHAT on my bike - just repeating what I was told, lol.
From: i live outside Omaha Ne on the Iowa side in the Loes hills, some great places to ride
RE: Street Glide Pinstriped
you can remove the pinstriping if it is not cleared over with, 2000 sand paper and then buff out or a heavy cut buffing compound. we do alot of trucks where i work, and supprisingly they turn out great if the striping has a few years on it there will be paint fade issues to deal with once striping is gone. or should i say it will never be really gone if it has been of for a few years.
the job i am having done is on my tank and fairing and i am having them clear coated over. removed both and had them sanded down before the striping goes on (i was worried about bugs and gas taking the striping off) have it striped , then we have to shoot a couple dry coats or the stripping will run. then sand and then a couple more wet coats and buff.
I only have one problem: The gas tank to me looks too busy with the pinstriping AND the H-D tank badge. Personally I would lose the tank badge and let the pinstriping do the talking unless that is where the pinstriping stops of course.
