Default Softail Standard FXST DIY Paint Project (PICS)

Hey Guys,


Figured some of you would appreciate this little project I've been working on. Love my Softail, but absolutely HATED the FXST paint scheme on the tank. I realize that's probably why they call it a standard.. everything on it just standard enough to complete it as a motorcycle. When I decided to buy it, I figured I would rather spend the money turning it into something I wanted it to look like and make it a custom Softail.. not to be confused with a Softail Custom!


This was the first time I laid my hands on a HVLP spray gun.


Easier for me to just post this link. Let me know what you guys think...


Happy New Year!!

Did a little airbrushing in my teens.. just picked up an Iwata Custom Micron to start messing around again. I'm rusty.. but getting better with practice... lol
