    Blackout... brighter pics. added... guess I made a hotrod and got mooned again

    Thanks TRM, I was thinking a matte Black I still have the vision of it all black with different blacks to make stuff stand out but it might have been a blessing though with the rain all morning as this is growing on me. When I paint aluminum or nice chrome I never scuff it clean with lacquer...

    well this build is not what I had visioned for paint was thinking 2-3 variations of black to make things stand out but had no time so ended up in black primer and had no time to paint the moons correctly today with the weather so guess they will go naked for now but guess they do make other...

    well most of its in black primer as I had no time for paint but not the happiest they sent me the wrong activator but I did not have a choice as they were closed today to exchange so had to use what I had it dried way to fast spraying couldn't keep everything wet to flow good :mad: and it wasn't...

    Thanks! I got the frame and fork in primer only thing left is the tank. I have decided I have only 2 options at this point buy some black primer scuff it and spray a coat of black primer with maybe some krylon black highpoints or pull out just not enough time to do actual paint correct the way I...

    I picked up some hotrod satin black but don't think I will have time to use it and do it right so I may just have to shoot a coat of black primer on it crossing the finish line This box also showed up

    bent these up yesterday they are 3 piece so not quite sitting even as just taped up about 27 1/2" wide and longer pull back :39: kinda like the early motorcycle bars flat with the slight down curve by grips, there's one more style I may try to bend up before I rip it apart.

    I decided last year after bare bonnie with the custom stem I did every build I do will have one of some sort I must have ran thru 30 different ideas on this and did not like any of them, when I came across the skull cigarette lighter in the parts store for some reason it spoke to me soooo...

    I don't remember if I posted this on here think I did (without going back in my posts) my old Chevy I did back in the day that was also named Blackout that gave me the inspiration for this build. While this bike will be Black I have been debating patina Black or not :39: I am on the fence...
