Here are mine, I wanna get my tank done but riding season is just starting. I would have to send out the tank to West Virginia. I will do that next winter.

Your off to a good start,meathead! I'd buy a tank off ebay for cheap,have it recoated on the inside and send it out to your painter.No down time and you can sell your tank to someone else.

Will send my brother's complete tin set for his V-Rod out on tuesday. Bleu real flames with a HD bar+shield in Granite underneath. THose paint jobs here in the US are much better then anything I've seen in Europe. Don't know why, the house of kolors paint maybe?
He want the artist to sign his work on the bottom of the front fender, to have something really unique, in france.

Maybe the green isn't realistic (unless you're throwing some copper oxide powder onto the logs in the fireplace - ah, the memories of childhood) but I sure do like my paint job.

Ride Safe.

My favorite airbrush artist (Redhouse) did this;



A friend & I did these green flames on his Razor - messing around learning how to do them
