I like the last one the best so far. What would it look like with more of the multiple colors on the bubble part as well as the bond seam and picture frame areas.
Way cool.............. :) :)

Maybe multi colored band around the outside, orange, purple, black and silver. I'll be talking to the painter today, see what we all come up with. This guy painted the bikes when I was at Area 51 Choppers, did one with a solar system on it, glowed in the dark. Kinda thinkin about doing something in that new orange like my sisters new Vette with a little purple accents, black background w/ thin silver stripes in between. Bottom line, if nothing else the cobalt blue w/ white tuck n roll on seats and trailer.

Billy B's huh, now thats an idea.....looked into that a while back, after Irvine. This local painter wants as much $ sooooooo. It's been painted like it was twice, that boat is kinda known by that paint. I told V-drive video Jerry what year it was and about the slight v and he told me the guys name i got it from and the color. Boats been on the river since new, one owner. It's getting the 'glass seats along w/ this paint job which will also be painted. See you all in June!!!! :screwy:

Post by: HDriderTH on June 02, 2008, 10:28:14 PM
It's called "marbling", I've never used it but apparently you spray it on and take seran wrap lay it over the top and pull it off. Everything was done in two stage paint then cleared over.
