Muscle Paint Thread

[one2dmax]

Figured I may as well start a thread with some of our paint schemes. Check out this latest one. I've included a before, during and almost after set. Still a lot to do before we are done.

Smoooooth unk:. What are you using for paint ?

 

[Hulign]

Looks cool... I need to figure out a paint job that shows off the louvers in my tank cover.

I'm wanting a Lambo orange/Black combo I think

Don't recall the brand but it seems to work well. It's a nearly exact match to the flat paint on the newer vmax frames, engines and other parts.

There is a lot of it going on this bike. Look for a copper bike soon with lots of satin and black chrome!

I like it!, Back in the late 80's hot rod or a similar rag had a picture of a rodded truck I think is was a '68 c10 GMC that was painted to match Cheeze whiz. my old roomate Rob wants to paint that color somthing fierce.

My bikes have always been Black, Blue, or Red.

What kind of times are you getting out of that CB?

 

[richwrench]

How about Safety Reflective Silver ?

I like the flat black and green too.

I like the muscle car look too which is why I went with the racing stripes on mine. :thumbs up: I know it kind of copies the 2003 or what ever year that was but mine IS different and not stickers plus I REALLY liked the stripes when I first saw them...

I think the blue bike needs a seat Sean... :whistlin:

LOL

Load it up to a host like Photobucket and it will be automatically resized and then you can link to the picture here.

or if you want to upload it, go get Microsoft's image resizer from their power toys line-up.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx
After it's installed, all you have to do is right click on the picture and choose resize pictures.

Thanks to all for resizing help - we'll see if this works. These stripes glow from a camera flash or car headlights , but they just look bright white normally. Don't know if I'll keep it this way , but easy enough to peel off if I get tired of it.

I like the reflective look! It doesn't look like you took the stripes onto the rear fender though, did you think of trying that? I would try that if I could match the stock stripes.

 

[richwrench]

Hadn't thought of striping rear fender, but maybe that's a good idea. I have lots of striping around & I'm thinking of painting it on this summer. Best to experiment with the tape first - if I do it I'll post pics.
