Default Painted Fairing Photos

I am thinking of painting the HD Bar and Shield in a ghost image on my Street Glide fairing which is Crimson Red Sunglo. Anybody do any paint work on their fairings? If you have any photos could you please post them. Thanks!!

I have seen a lot of really nice painted fairings. a buddy of mine (retired Marine) had a skeleton wearing a Marine dress blue uniform (with sword) ghosted into his fairing..this was absolutely beautiful..he had a local guy here do it (Bartow, Florida) for about $400.00 (I think). You sure you want to do a bar and shield?? Not critical, but isn't there enough stuff on the bike to ID it as an HD..do you think you would be happier with something else..something that expresses who you are at a deeper level?? JMO, no disrespect meant.

Think about what would would tell folks who you are and what matters to you. It's your bike and it reflects your tast. The ghosted image sounds great.

You know my buddy the retired Marine lost friends in Nam. His bike is going to be a rolling memorial to them..he plans on having their names painted on the bike kinda like what you see at the Memorial in DC..it is really striking
