B-e-a-utiful!

Love the paint job.

Nice Smily! Say, how do you like those decals from Purple harley??....worth the price/effort, they look real sharp.

Smily · 03-21-2006, 10:56 AM

I believe they are over priced but they do look very good. They fool people unless they touch them.

I think I would try another brand if I had too.

As for application, piece of cake!

GSX1100FL · 03-22-2006, 03:06 AM

So the skull/smoke are decals?

Look painted on to me.

This still does not change my p.o.v. on the bike, it still looks B-e-a-utiful!

The decals are airbrushed by hand and then sold.
Obviously, the pattern is cut from machine but the paint is airbrushed. I checked themn side by side and they are slightly different indicating that they were done by hand.

Literally everybody thinks they are painted on the bike.

THANKS for the info on the decals Smily.

I did some research on decals after your reply last night and I'm pretty sure purple harley is the way to go to get that "painted on effect" with out actually having it painted.

The closest I could find to purple harleys were 4 mil thick/not done by hand......which means it would take alot of clear coat to make others look as close to painted on as yours does and still would not look as original.

thanks again.

Not much not to like there... excellent work - love the decals! Good picture of how to add bling without looking like a hick. How about a picture from the front (say 30 degree offset) and same with the rear?
