Paint Job

[justsomeguy]

Never been on learners,never had cheap ass stickers on my bike either.
But given that,my first road bike was very much the match for todays CBR250,same brand even,just a 1973.
What ever that has to do with any thing.

Yea see your point.

Forgot this was a cruisers section. Yep decals on a cruiser would look like a big fat spoiler on a bentley.

newais.... how come you were never on a learners?? Born with a full license in your palm??

just had mine painted, latest craze in America:

that's 16 coats of apple candy red metallic, marbleized with four coats of clear on top of it.
Makes you go all oogely when you look at it, you think your eyes deceive you and it looks like metallic chameleon skin.
To be perfectly honest, I couldn't care less for paint as long as the bike is tight, after all if you are looking at your bike when you're riding, YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING WRONG!

definatly nice

my partner, hounddog, bought a harley some years back [an 83 shovel, also rides a 65 panhead that im in love with] the shovel is the main ride as the pan has some problems after a big wreck 10 years ago.

the shovel when he bought it was already painted up. its got a steam engine on the tanks, an engine and eagle on the fairing and an old station that was destroyed by fire on the back of the tour pack. everywhere we go, we get comments on it. the train station was in orangeville, [hes in canada] and the bike was painted by a guy called wizzard/wizard who is well known over there, but i think hes retired since then.

this aint the best pic of the paint, but i think its the only one ive got.



and this is the panhead



hoping to talk to him tonight, so will ask if hes got better photos of the shovel. there might also be one or two in my album here....cant remember, lol.
