Title: My GS paintjob!
Post by: redge on January 15, 2012, 06:13:11 PM
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:.

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.
