When or if I decide to have a professional paint job done. I will be buying stretched bags stretched tank and you can get a fairing for what couple hundred. Not to worried about trunk. If I get it done more than likely I will do most of my own prep work that I know how to do. Never sprayed so I'll leave that to the pros.

No I'm not I did the rear fender and after I let it dry sprayed with water and it beaded up like it had been waxed. Took me off guard for a min.

No I haven't the weather is not on my side right now to paint. It is suppose to warm up tomorrow so I'll get out there and get everything sanded. And hopefully Sunday I can get a few coats laid on the rest.

Good luck. You've got more ***** than I do. HD factory paint is pretty good quality.

By then the "stretched" fad won't be trendy anymore.
