Anyone Paint their own bike
Ive been toying around with the idea of airbrushing my bike, anyone else done it with good results? Ive been practicing the real fire and think I may do that on the front fender first as its easy to get off, and if I dont like it I can just leave it off...

Look nice to me, but then with little or no effort at all I can screw up apaint by number set.
Why not see if you can get your hands on a spare tin set and either practice on it or paint it for real and keep your originals in storage, just in case?
If you look around you might be able to find a metric set of tins to practice on cheap. I got a good tank to replace a leaking one on my20 year old Yamaha for $10 off e-bay.
Also check out these guys for some neat airbrush paint. http://autoaircolors.com/
Stuff is a lot easier to use than most types of paint, and cleans up real easy.

Ive done a few tanks and fenders for practice, just none really worth anything. Still nervous about possibly ruining a good paint job. If I could just find an 06-07 injected softail tank on ebay I would be set. I tried the AA colors, their kandys just dont do justice to what the House of Kolor can do. Hopefully Ill get started next week, and post some pics (if it turns out good)
