- There's going come a point when you're sitting around waiting for parts or someone else to finish their part of the project, so you might find yourself twiddling your thumbs. To be honest, I really enjoy these moments because I use them to squeeze out a project that has been bouncing around in my head for a while. In this video, I use that time to lay down some nice paint on my trusty and rusty 1965 Harley Davidson XLCH Sportster.
Watch as we go through the process from start to finish, beginning with primer, through basecoat, masking for a second color coat with line tape, laying on a waterslide decal, and finally topping it all off with high-gloss clearcoat.
Since this is my own bike, I'm trying out some new things I haven't done before, like mixing in a pearlescent into a base coat instead of the clear like usual. Sometimes being bored leads to new discoveries!
Overall I'm pretty stoked with how this paint came out, even if flames on a Harley is a little cliché.
If you liked this waxing philosophique while working type of video, let me know!

Love that color!
Insta-classic..such a great color.
Great job! Very cool, also your Sportster. Wish you all time a good ride... Greetings from Hamburg, Germany
Awesome video and bike. Paint is unbelievable very cool. You take care and stay safe.
Thanks for the kind words man! Cheers!
Great job!
Super cool design! Simple, unique and done well!
the way this is edited is so appealing. The music definitely adds to it. That color brings me back way back to a friend that had a passat wagon in that color... I instantly had a flashback.
Thanks so much! It's a really unique color, I'm surprised VW didn't use it elsewhere.
Beatiful
You definitely have the skills to pay the bills. Do kids still say that? I like the way the tank looks completely different from either side. I never tried putting the flip-flop in the base coat before I'd be interested to see how that works in the sunlight. Anyway keep doing what you're doing. Ride safe.
Cheers man! Thanks for the kind words. The pearl is pretty subtle but in direct sunlight it's a cool look.
Hold on... why havent more people seen this? Based on the quality of this video the views should be in the hundreds of thousands? Even millions?
you're telling me!
read your comment first then saw numbers, ridiculous!! You better start showing this on TV!
Goddamn that is COOL!
thanks man!
...and I thought the patina look was cool. I simply don’t have words. Interstellar cool maybe?
