Even open to a single stage enamel I'm looking for ease of use for a diy and best bang for the buck in terms of finish and durability

Looks like a nice start but what are the other colors going to be?

I did a lot of custom stuff in the 70s. I’m surprised to see this kind of stuff trying to come back in style.

This whole thread makes my head spin. I keep vacillating between "I'm going to have someone who knows what they're doing paint mine" and then I come here and see these amazing paintjobs, and think "they did that in their garage, surely I could too"

Fortunately, I have quite some time before I'll need to settle on one or the other, but this thread is a real inspiration to want to try it myself.

Hammerforhire · 05-04-2014, 11:30 PM

Hey Guys,

I got the interior painted today. It was harder than I thought it was going to be. I do have some orange peel but I think it will be ok. Now that I got the interior done I'm hoping the rest will be a little easier.

86swb · 05-05-2014, 10:09 AM

Hey Hammerforhire, keep us in touch on how your paint job is going and also with pictures. Red interior would really look great with the white paint job. MO

I have been painting as a hobby for 15 years. I dont like doing it, But I am picky and dont want to spend the big $$$ to take it someone else. Here are some pics of my 69 swb I just finished.

i was looking into those but their website didn't list bigger sizes like 20"s.
I painted my Harley (a page back) in my shop in a "booth" like yours, 'cept smaller. I paint cause i still enjoy it, its the body work i hate. I'm gonna do my 70 with semi-gloss black with some metalflake candy flames. It may not be for everyone, but its gonna be unique and stand out like a sore thumb. Bonus is i may sell a few more flame jobs....
