Almost done pimpin' out my garage at home so I had it striped.
There's a striper here at the shop a couple times a month restriping fenders, doors, etc. He owed me a favor so I had him stripe it.

thanks....all those look good too! I wanted flames originally but ended up with what I got somehow...lol just told the guy to keep it simple and thats what I got...thought it would be cheaper than what he quoted me for flames....when I got to pay it was the same! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh was done by Wizard at Destination Daytona at bike week this year....he does amazing work...you get what you pay for....I'm still thinkin I'd like flames better...he said only way I'm gettin this stuff off is sandpaper though....

Here's mine. I also wanted to break up the black but in a sedate way. Here's what my guy came up with...not too much, just a touch.

just find a local striper, check out his work, if you like, go for it, tell him what you had in mind, color, etc. then he'll do what he wants to do and not what you wanted. you may or may not be happy with what you get. lol

hawg08...looks really good....like the little touch on the dash....looks like a black widow spider...yup your right...you pretty much get whatever the hell they want to do unless you know EXACTLY what you want...I spent 2 days at this guys booth trying to decide what I wanted...I had countless pictures of bikes for different ideas and references.....I watched him do different bikes....and still I had no idea what I really wanted....after I got passed my flames idea...he asked me...look..what do you want? I said how bout just basic pinstripe?.....I don't do "basic" pinstripe he says...lol I said ok....have at it....the guys crew really was amazing...I watched them do some airbrush work on a couple bikes that they worked on the entire time of Bike Week...they came out unbelievable...one was a red Screamin'Eagle Streetglide Fireman bike they did...I watched them work on that for 5 days....looked AMAZING....I didn't get to see the final product when it was put together...wish I had...in the end if you have a good artist do it...you'll be happy I think. If not...take out a loan and get a custom paint job to cover it up....lol
