Hey guys, just wanted to show you guys my new paintjob. I used rustoleum rattle cans and this is the final product. Don't hate on it too hard, this is my first time using rattle cans, let alone painting stuff :icon_lol:.

Ummmm...wow!  Dude, that looks slick, I think you did a great job.  Nice work.

Some say that he submitted a $20000 expense claim for some gravel

And that if he'd write a letter of condolance he would at least spell your name right.

Lines are so straight, nice job!
Did you use flat clear coat for the finish?

Nice!

Last thing to do: remove the white warning stickers.

Consider the Harley stick-on fork reflectors. The straight line of them would complement your design. The round reflectors seem out of place now.

That looks amazing! If you had a nice clear coat on there to shine it up I would've assumed you paid a professional to do it.

I bought a paint gun for my compressor so I could learn to paint things well, but I haven't tried them yet, painting things nice is just so much work haha.

im trying to keep a flat, it actually looked much better without the flat clear coat. But it thought the paint needed some sort of protection.

and yea, took me one and a half week, with a ghetto garage paint booth set up  :D

it looks great! good job, my friend. You're right about additional protection. Matte clear coat can be had, I'm sure.
