Did all this with a rattle can myself. It came out flawless. If youre going glossy its much better to use a gun but rattle can is awesome for flat. very durable finish too. I used a copper and brown paint on a damp rag for the weathered look. Its alot of prep work to do it right but so worth it in the end. Oh n yes....you must drain and remove the tank.

 

Nice work

I am a fan of the rattle can. Nice work!

 

You did a nice job! Did you do all the graphics and lettering too?

 

Good job...I like!

 

Hell yes that what im talking about!!!!

 

thanks brother. Yes...I did everything myself. blue painters tape over the sides of tank, drew my design, cut it out with exacto knife (do not press hard....learned that the hard way..lol) and sprayed with the red. Then dusted it lightly with black paint to make it look a little beat up.

 

I'm not a fan of rattle cans and its still nice work.

This is the only pic I have of my bike after i painted it but before doing the red skull on the tank. fabricated a piece of aluminum, drilled two holes in it for rivets for an old skool look. painted it black with red harley-davidson. i liked it but it wasnt evil looking enough. lol.
