Finished the flames on my FXDB
I have been wanting tank flames for the past year. When I saw the 2010 WideGlide with the flame option, I decided that was the style I was going to follow. Fellow member "B767" sent me many photos of his stock WG paint scheme. I removed my old tank emblems and bought the tank emblems from a Rocker C, as one of our fellow members "dyna rider" did and helped me with.
I bought HD Pewter Denim paint, Denim clear coat and activator. I got detailers 1/8" masking tape. I cleaned the tank and taped up one side following the photos from "B767" and Harleys website and brochures.
The actual paint spraying was done by a friend of mine that has an autobody shop. I was going to do it myself but with the Denim paint, if I dripped or oversprayed there was no way to rub it out. I had it pinstriped with white to give it some punch but still keeping everything low key.
It was fun and I love the look!
