RE: Paint horn cover
Where do you get those 3M scrub pads? Grocery store? Wal-Mart?Paint store? Home Depot?
Also, for you guys who did the translucent paint, can you get that in black? (That red looks great, man)
By the way... I didn't paint my horn cover; I bought a crinkle black one out of the '06 Harley catalog for $34.95. Should I be embarrassed? (see below... sorry, it's the only pic I have)
EDIT: oops, I went back and read Metal Mike's post... just one more question: what's the WD-40 for?

Thanks for all the replys. That red cover does look awesome, and while I knew I was not being original man I didn't know this was done that much. It's all good I love the look.
As for the powdercoat it comment, I would and will for other pieces (in the future)but I like getting my hands dirty and making things happen myself every once in a while. That's how i feel you really make things your own, I am glad I can pay for things, but **** it feels good to use your hands to make things too. That's just me

Do your hand-painted items hold up to the gravel road test???

RE: Paint horn cover
haven't really tested it out but probably not. I am not so concerned with small pieces like the horn cover but as for the highway mount pegs I may be f'd as far as scratches and chips go. I may end up powder coating if my 2nd attempt still looks like *** or if they get chipped
etc
etc
