you bike painters make all the easy money after all how hard can 2 fenders an a tank be

I dunno, those bike guys can be pretty picky.

Well all looks for not owner says it was too much the bike owner not the owner of the shop.
Oh well I was just going to fix a few cracks and scuff and shoot any ways I wasn't about too scuff and buff it would be an as sprayed deal as long as there's no runs and not a bunch of trash.

I already told the shop owner as long as they come out clean I wouldn't be doing any cutting or Buffing. He doesn't even know what it means, And he doesn't want to know.

I did a spare tank he had laying around and a fender and an oil tank to spray plus I had a couple laying around he says he's going to hang them on his walls in the show room to show customers my work.

Take a look at this site for pinstriping help. I have dealt with this guy before and found him helpful. Scroll down most of the way to get to the kit.

I hear ya brother they are a pain!

just to give you a idea at my shops for a job like this we would charge 3500-4000 that would include the airbrush work and pinstriping.... this one just happens to be mine..

beautiful job on that bike

thank you for the comment on the bike it means alot.. this is like the tenth time I have painted it and this time I did a tribute to my dad who passed away almost six years ago now.. on the tank as you see is a picture of him at his 1st gas station than over that is the child that my wife and I have tried for the last 13 years to have than on the bottom is "KEEP THE FAITH" that was what my pops would always say in tuff times......Pete at Legacy colors did the airbrush work and we finished it off...
