Default Paint it Black!

Finally able to take the time and start painting the Ultra Glide Flat Black.

Started yesterday and took the bags off. Prepped by wet sanding and spraying flat black.

I am using Rust-oleum rattle can and so far could not be happier! I will continue to post pics as I progress.

Was your original paint damaged or are you just looking for a change? Looks good so far!
