2001 Harley-Davidson Heritage Softail Tank & Fender Bib

[Spinner]

Back in September I posted the raw toolings of these two bibs to share.

Here they are all colored and mounted on the client's 2001 Harley-Davidson Heritage Softail.

Also attached is the finished "no Evil" set ready for delivery.

Wow! Those are stunning! May I ask what paints you use and the finish? I love the painting on such fine detail. I bet that's one proud owner

Ah, ignore my questions, I just saw your other post!

VERRY NICE!

How do you protect art like that from getting wet or stained when mounted on a bike?

Hey Joel,

The colored areas receive two light coats of satin varnish to lock in the color and help with UV protection.

This is followed up by applying 2-3 coats of Resolene over the entire piece with the last coats 24 hrs apart to create a hard finish.

Next is buffing Pecards motorcycle leather dressing over the piece for that extra water resistance.

Using this method I have had guys accidentally let gasoline run over a bib, as well as getting caught in the rain, with no ill effects if dabbed off quickly.

The client then just needs to reapply the leather dressing when they get home.

Nice paint work on the bibs.
