I thought about painting my tins, I sick of HD® all over EVERY BLOODY THING ON THE BIKE!!!!!

What I'll probably do is wait till I get new tins then save or sell original.

I say go for it! Rattle away! I have seen a bunch of guys rattle can their tins and came out perfect! Even seen a few cars done that way, clearcoat and all, and it was hard to tell it wasn't done in a booth.

The whole trick to it is to prep it properly.

you can get amazing results with rattle cans if you know what paint to buy, take your time and prep, and are patient... you can always just powder coat them as well!

I rattle caned underneath the fender cuz a chunk of paint chiped off and I didn't feel like dealing with insurance and I didn't want it to start to rust so I hit it with some spray paint.

Yep. I painted my FXSTC with rustoleum flat black. You can see pics under my profile. Someone else posted this link the other day that you should really look at if you are serious about spray paint. http://www.jockeyjournal.com/forum/s...ighlight=paint
