Default New paint for my Softail

As my previous paint was not 100% what I wanted, I decided to let it paint again...it has to be fresh and the painter has not always the abbitlities to paint my ideas...
This was how my bike was:



This is the new paint in progress:




Black will be painted gloss, and the other color will receive mat coating.

I like it a lot...can't wait to see the paint on my bike...

That is an awesome looking bike (the original). Very unique. New paint looks even better. Please post updates.

I'm not sure if it stays like that or with all black in a gloss finish and the rest in a matte finish...will decide that next week...

We got to see pictures of your bike when it's done. That paint job is looking good.
