Well that didn’t go at all how I envisioned. The “black” candy was more like a midnight blue and almost negated my entire tape masking job. It only barely shows up with a flash or sunlight. Def needs a wet sand with so many layers now. No solution but to add more paint though!
-
@WhiskeySandwich looks pretty damn good to me! Sleep on it and take it out in the sun tomorrow.
-
I’ll give it a try, it’ll def be sparkly as hell but it’s just… plain. I may give it a wet sand and re-tape for a shot of pearl over top before clearing

@WhiskeySandwich just needs a red W
-
More wet sanding to reveal the pattern. Dig the fauxtina. Clear it or redo it?
-
I agree with scooter,it’s really cool,unique,and makes me think of faded denim.@WhiskeySandwich

@WhiskeySandwich I love it!
-
@goosehd I’m kinda digging it. It worked out in an unexpected way. I like that it looks like faded denim, but the best part is because I layered so many effects and sanded down the highs, the silver beneath is the base silver coarse metallic, I didn’t get into the primer or bare metal, so it should all glitter a bit.
I’m going to do a few coats of inter-clear first to see how it pops and go from there.
-
@WhiskeySandwich have you put something chrome or satin black next to it, just to see what would be the best contrast to that paint?
-
@tody I set it on the bike for a mockup and it looked kinda cool
-
Just adding effects at this point. did a mist coat of the silver metal flake base, then topped it off with a ton of silver pearl over it to ghost the previous effect. Gonna roll with it and 2K clear it.

Getting the all gear together for a 6/7 day trip to central and southeaster Bolivia, primarily Sucre and Tarija. Somewhere between 2000 and 2500 km, largely paved roads.
Schuberth helmet, Klim jacket, IH tshirt, Held gloves, Rokker jeans, IH belt, Daytona boots and Scott waterproofs. That should keep me comfy enough.

Route will look somewhat like that Google map blue line. We aren’t hitting the country’s highest areas this time around. We’ll mostly stay between 1700 and 3500 mts. Rainy season here so that may cause some route changes.

@WhiskeySandwich I like the stance you have on this. Are those 10.5" shocks in the back? What size fork tubes as well, +4, +6? Im in the middle of a sportster build right now as well.
