Looks good. Rattle can paint has come along way. The SprayMax 2 part clear coat is key. That stuff works great, and keeps the gas from eating your paint. I would have done a wet sand then a cut, buff and polish to take it to the next level. I've done a few paint jobs and f you don't go crazy with the wet sand you won't burn though the clear... just knock the shine off of it to get rid of some orange peal then take the buffer to it. Maybe on the next one you can experiment a little.
Well that's why I only paint for myself I have trouble being taking my time .. I want to rush stuff unfortunately that's not what you do when you paint... Great looking paint job.... I can make make paint look like it's old.. which is good cuz I know I bugger off a good paint job
Yeah I've read stuff about that 1K and 2K NAPA store here in town sells paint.. that's where I get my pain it's a specialty paint store but it is run by Napa
Hey, it looks really good from here. It's a rider anyway, not a show bike. It's got that chopper look because you didn't put anything on the tank and no front fender. I spray bombed my '53 Buick with red oxide primer back in the day, at least it was all one color.😀😃
the finish probably reacts with petrol so be carefull when putting fuel in it, after 15 years my clearcoat started getting cracks in it, so yeah rattlecan paint jobs is not that great
@@happymark1805 it said to give it 2 weeks before exposure to chemicals so it's still sitting, we'll see how it holds up, for now it's better than it was! And maybe by the time it's due for a "refresh" I'll have a small "paint booth" setup. Thanks for watching and the comments
@@buttcrackcycles I had painted an engine cover with ratle cans, after that when my car needed some good paintjob I asked the professional painters to put some of their clearcoat over mine, that worked perfect, the 2K they put in rattle cans is clearly different that what the paint shop uses
I'm curious as to how well the oil cooler works on your bike? Seems to me that there's a lot of surface area to dissipate a lot of heat. The reason I'm asking is that I was thinking about getting one myself. The stock oil cooler on my 78 flh shovelhead seems rather small. I've never had any problems with mine, but most of my rides are on country roads and very little in town or in cities.
@@rjoetting7594 it's been on it since I owned the bike, I have no idea of temperatures. Which is pretty out of character for me, who is usually pretty data driven, but hey, that's what choppers are about right?! 😅

Yeah I have a raw Sportster tank to paint for another one I'm working on, I'll try it! Definitely want to keep learning, thanks for the comment
Really nice.
Just watched all your vids on this bike...Nice Job ! Stay Safe, Stay Cool.
Appreciate that! Thanks for watching
It's AWESOME
I'm sorry that I ragged you on orange a little at first. I was clearly wrong because that bike looks great !!!
Haha no worries! Thanks
Yeah, I do like the orange too. good job brother!😎👍
For the investment that’s a great result. Looks really good, love the choice to stick with orange on the bike.
Thanks, I like orange!

looks awsome mate good work
Thanks
Nice. Personally not a fan of orange, but that looks really really good.
Thanks, it's funny, there's been several other comments along the lines of "I don't usually like orange but I like this!"
I love that color. Good job!
Thanks Ed, think it turned out well
@@buttcrackcycles now you gotta match that fender up to it.
Yeah I've read stuff about that 1K and 2K NAPA store here in town sells paint.. that's where I get my pain it's a specialty paint store but it is run by Napa

All one color is pretty good to me, I've had some "14 different color with some rust" vehicles over the years, but hey, we all have 🤣
the paint looks really awesome can't wait to see it with the new fender! i have to ask what is the brand of the oil cooler? it's super cool!
I'm pretty sure it is a Milwaukee Twins part number 1008277. It was on the bike when I bought it, definitely worth keeping
@@buttcrackcycles thanks 👍🏽

Yeah that that's a good color I mean it's not Orange.. kind of a goalie Orange
Yeah it's not too "loud" if that makes sense, I like the color
@@buttcrackcycles I picked sparkling burgundy for my bike for now.. but people say hey it's pink
@@MoeLarrycurly1 personally I like pink 🤣
@@buttcrackcycles oh my....🤭
Nice Job!!!!!
Thanks man!
