If you were ever interested in how a Hoggy g looks, I could bolt mine on and snap a pic
Agree with you to stick to the WWs with your other stylish bits
You nailed the red on the chain guard and seat!
I'd love to see it on the tank similar to the guard (just my $.02)

Cool,I thought you had a BOA-G,seeing yours sent me to 3G,s website wich I had never heard of before .The red was on the guard when I got it but it worked so Im gonna strip it and reshoot it.
Id like to see the HOggy pic for sure.But I plan on sticking with my whitewalls for the time being.

You're right, I have a Boa-g on it but I also have a Hoggy-g for my yet-to-be-completed 24" Eliminator

Re: HiaWhatThe? update-(tank & guard paint )

Postby kingfish254 on Mon May 21, 2012 8:26 pm

I am in awe of so many builder's paint skills here. Maybe that's why I have a chrome bike in the build off.
That looks sick. I love the raw and beat, but polished look of the clear coated sections. Nice touch.

Here is a few of the tank and guard zip tied on just to get the feel of it.I forgot how bright this red was.I may end up stripping them and mixing some darker red and using the gun this time.I really dont know.

Hi! I hate to say it but I think you are right - a little darker red might make it all work better, but that is a lot of work. Are you going to leave the biscuit light white? I'll be back! Robert

Yeah Im on the fence about the red--cool side is its Hot Rod bright red.Yeah got plans for the delta down the road.
Luckily I could restrip the paint pretty easy since its fresh.Just not sure.
