Talking Great Paint Job, Eyh on Design...

I had my trailer painted this spring to match my HD. The painter did a great job on the paint work, it was flawless. The design he ended up doing I was not to impressed with. I think he took the easy way.

I am going to sell this one anyway and get me either a Legacy or a Buschtec for next year.

LMK what you think - be gentle.

Too simple I guess... I think I would have liked more white pearl on the sides and front.

Thanks for the compliment!

Looks good to me too. Not a lot of options on that.

Thanks! :-) - very true. I was just hoping for it to look a tad closer to the saddlebag look I guess...

To me it doesn't look like "the saddlebag look " would work since they are totally different shapes. Now if the trailer was shaped similar to the saddlebag it would work fine. Since it's not,,,.

For future reference. The guy that did the paint on my bike took some pics of my bike, then did some "painting" and e-mailed me the pics. When he got what I wanted I approved it and then took him the tins and all and he painted them.

Maybe next time you can find a painter that can do that so you will get what you are looking for.
