What I like is the way you try things... it's easy to go mainstream for likes but doing what fires your soul makes it interesting. I hated the rat Triumph but still watched and enjoyed the vids, every bike since that has been awesome in there own way... keep on being you and ignore the haters.
Why thank you most kindly Sir, wise words well said and very encouraging, thank you
I really like this look. My father had the exact same fenders on his old softail and I think it just looks sweet !
Good job Del
We've always used round wire wheel to etch into metal for that bare effect! I'm clairvoyant so I know it will look great! Tim
So many paint options on what you can do with the swirled bit. Can't wait to see how it all shakes out.
Nothing wrong with vinyl wrap I guess...but I'm gonna paint mine. Not that I hate stickers...no ;) Looking good. I used round wire brush packed with steel wool for that engine turning on steel. Worked really well.
Hi buddy, Hope you're all settled in now, and back to the wheel.. Im not looking for a uniform finish to the scuffage, just a mottled pattern that catches the light, and i think this will do it.! Like all paint jobs, it can't really be judged till its finished aye.! chat soon, and take carer.. Del.
That front end looks so much better, and way more practical too. Good choices Del 👍👍
I flap wheeled my new king sportster tank, masked of a design, gave a few light coats of matt black. unmasked then the whole lot was sprayed with a few coats of candy apple red with small gold flake, about 10 more coats of just the candy and about 20 clear. hard to see on a dull day but the flap wheel pattens really show up in the sunlight. Looking forward to see the finished job!
Hrmmm ... I am not a fan of that look. I like the classic, keep it original, black out the chrome to make it less flashy, look. This scuff idea is taking it in another direction.
Jesus del I'm not sure about that swirl it doesn't look good but maybe you can prove me wrong lol
Awesome and I like it. It'll be different in one of a kind. Can't wait to see the Finish. Have a great week stay warm Penny and you Del ride safely.
Hi Paul, thanks for your kind words, its a fun build, just a change of style and a few new parts, no more than a makeover and fresh modern look... To be honest i cant wait to get out and ride it.. have a good week buddy, and keep in touch.. D&Px
i dont like how much negativity is openly shared on here... it's different & custom...!! if every project was conventionally beautiful then they would become boring.. keep doing you del Love the vids
Couldn't put it better myself buddy... !
I didn’t think I would, cause I was anticipating the vinyl, but I actually like it!!! Niicee!!!
I know, deep in my knower, you are going to nail this one Del! I can't wait to see it done!
Thanks buddy, appreciate your faith!
Nice one Del, you never know if you don't give it a go mate. Looking forward to seeing it all painted up. Penny and you have a safe week. Cheers
Thanks most kindly sir, its a fun way to explore some new ideas and get a creative result..
I really like the way that fender was looking with no scuffs clear coat on top take paint of rear fender and tank and leave bear metal just some clear to protect it (mat clear) just my personal opinion great video Del boy and Penny ride safe guys
Candy colour dark red over the scuffs would look cool with the black on the sides,the cookie cutter (battle of the Kings) had something similar done on the tank a few years back, looked sick.
Fender is looking good del with the swirling effect . That’s what life is all about you must experiment .👍👍🏍🏍
I think the idea is great . Nice painted surface side by side with swirly plain steel is going to make it a joy for the eye (as well as a joyride). And by the way, your wisdom words on the board is so true. Ride safe my friends. /Kalle
I personally love the copper "hammered" look, always have .... a lot cooler than painted skulls !!!
Fearless. Love your willingness to try whatever you want. Another great video. TY Del and Penny.
Thanks Jason. Just checkin' out something new, no cost if it fails, but if i can pull it off, then thats a new thing learned..!
Ha! Yes! Teach your kids to love motorcycle and they’ll never have money for drugs! Love it!
i've actually seen this, a bike had a bare metal stripe down the center of the entire bike. it was outlined in red and the rest of the bike was matte black! it looked lovely
I love bare metal bikes and there is not enough of them around! I’m not sure about combining paint with bare metal sections, but honestly I’m happy to see lots of different styles on bikes, that’s what makes them so interesting!
I'm not convinced on this one. I will hold judgement until it's finished. Either way, who cares its your bike lol. Keep it up Del boy
Keep it del. The black will really highlight it
Great Video Worth giving it a try 👍
NICE!!!👍🏻
Great job Del. That fender looks awesome.. That's the joy of being able to do the work yourself and it never hurts to try new ideas, if you don't like the way it turns out then all you have to do is change it until you do like it.
Wise words well said brother, it's nothing to paint over it with something different... you don't create cool things without pushing the boundaries aye?
Hello, Del from Tennessee! I've been watching all of your projects. I know you're getting quite the grief for this project, but I am loving it! It's really coming together! Great work!!
FWIW, the service manuals call the component a 'fender'. LOL
Hi Clint, Yeah, and i was picked up recently for calling the back pulley a pulley, and not a sprocket.. they do get stressed over it aye..lol!
@@Moonfleet41 Haha! You are not kidding, Friend!
Hey, when you get a chance, I think you ought to do a video on working a lathe for beginners. Just a suggestion. It would certainly capture my attention [not that you do not otherwise, lol] ;)
@@flytheedge Thank again for your faith Clint, but i wouldn't dare to presume to make a video on how to use a lathe at my humble and novice stage...im just learning the basics still myself, and have a long way to go to make any kind of statements on how its done... !! but ill always load up the projects i do on the machine, and as i progress, maybe making a few mistakes along the way.. we can all learn together..!
Another good day at the office Del,looks good
Del, not convinced by the swirl effect! Although I may be being swayed by thoughts of some of the projects my old metalwork teacher tried to get us to achieve!
Nothing lost, you'll never know unless you try! :)
Love it...adapt..overcome and improvise,my favourite build so far..short,sweet and very cool
Never hurts to try new things!
Seems a good idea to wrap the fighter and play with paint on the fx..
good thing with paint you can strip it and do it again if it dont cut it ...
so yeah give it a go see what happens after all its supposed to be fun and learning new skills
last time i did anything like this in my painting days I used a dremmel for control ..then a candy lacquer..seemed to pop..
any how you just have fun brother ...peace and love 👍🏻☮❤
Too right brother, it's just fun experimenting, if you bugger it up, just use it as base coat for the next attempt! I think this really is an old style 70's thing, and everyone is shouting candy colours constantly, but I really don't dig that, you know me, love the monochrome! Gonna seal it in clear, get the bike finished, then see what it looks like later in the season if I can think of something cool to add to it! Hope you're feeling better brother, no more lurgy, take it easy, catcha soon mate, D&Px
Looks good to me 👌🏼
I actually quite like that front fender especially with the sides going to be black should looks mint if you do it on the tank and the rear fender too
Interested, keep going!!
I like the finish how about candy apple red on the swirlies only and gloss black around with white pinstripe
I think this will look great once it's clear coated, Prove the doubters wrong, good idea to get the Street fighter wrapped, the HD will look great any way you decide to do it. All the best & hi to Penelope Pitstop x👍👍😎
Hi Geoff, always good to hear from you buddy, Hope you're well and thanks for your kind support as ever.. have a good week mate.. and keep in touch. .D&Px
SO excited for the streetfighter. Im a huge kwacker fanboy and a fan of that bike as well never missed a vid on that one
Cheers buddy, should be a fitting end to a very long project aye.
Love it del boy roll on Saturday video can't wait
Thanks for the experiment...so we all can learn from it. Having painted my first bike with a candy cobalt blue...which turned out great...Im thinking how would it look with some candy paint job. Just thinking out loud...and if the the swirls are coming through too strong, maybe more base coat.
Looking forward to seeing the new front fender and your plans for it.
Be different! Do it!
Hey
Try a round wooden cylinder for this drawing, we did this earlier in school at the metalworking lesson and that gave a nice result
Oh hello, the 'scuffage' looks good; at the risk of appearing tasteful, would I be tempted to try 'ivory' clearcoat over that?
For the 'Street fighter', go for the ultimate in 'namesakes', have them cover it in plain Magnolia & then lend it to Banksy : )
You never know how something will turn out until you give it a go. Think you need to get it painted and clear coated to see the final effect before you make a decision on whither it works or not.
Absolutely right mate, I totally agree!
Good to try something new
you never know unless you give it a go....
I love how you keep trying new things and techniques! But I disagree on the Firetruck-bling :P. The de-chroming is fantastic and lifts the bike up to be a bough performance machine, don't "re-chrome" it again!!! lol. An idea would be a gloss / flatt combination paintjob, or these rust patina's you have these days. Anyway's, still love it, keep up the fantastic work!
I think it'll look good with black sides on it - I can't help but wonder if it'll need a pinstripe between the paint and the raw metal but reckon you'll figure it out!
Slightly surprised you didn't fettle with the mounting to correct the angle before starting work on the finish - hope you don't regret that later when the files come out 👍
Already did it buddy, filling a couple of holes out a little wasn't worth filming really..!
Different Del
I like how that swirl matches the light and I think a straight border between the swirl and the sides would look good. I'm still working through the Street Fighter build videos and I gotta say it's different to see you take a metal part out of a box and use it almost as is! Keep up the great work.
Wonder how a candy or colour tinted clear would look over the swirl pattern. Maybe an option? Bike looks good
the bike has come a long way looking soo good now. can't wait for the finish keep up the good work
Thanks Alex, am glad you're enjoying it mate.
Love the idea of the scuffed finish. When I saw it on the Triumph Rocket X, I thought it was the coolest thing.
Keep up the good work.
Filing out the holes will mean the mudguard will no longer be centred round the axle therefore the gap between tyre and mudguard will be uneven and look off.
The swirling was seriously unexpected which makes the next steps all the more exciting, Del. Discovering how it turns out will certainly be a new learning experience for me, and that's a Good Thing. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, eh! Great stuff, my friend 👍
Thanks Keith, you know how it is, pushing the boundaries to keep it fresh... something I've never done, it' always a fun adventure, and if it turns out pants, I can just paint over it lol
I love the scuffed fender look..great vision mate..well in... Genius, would never have thought about doing it that way looks amazing
Thanks Dave, thats really kind.. but ive still got to pull it off yet, so lets see how it turns out..lol!
(P) Good to try out new things and like you say if your not happy CAN always paint over it and only time lost, nothing drastic.
Too right buddy, nothing ventured, nothing gained aye? Good luck with the impending delivery, we hope all is well, and fingers crossed for you both, take care, love and hugs to the family, D&Px
i can picture the look your going for, hopefully it comes out well cos it will look amazing
Thanks mate, that's very kind, just doing something a bit different!
You'd never guess what happened today. The gardener cut through the phone line so, no internet, no phone. Heck.
Liking it Del, simple and effective and cant wait to see the wrap on the sf. All the best to you both.
Thanks Dave, good to hear from you mate, D&Px
Love the intro music- gotta love the twang of that Mudguard Telecaster
It’s different
Think that effect would look real nice with a super thin coat of candy red or purple
It’s kind of like a quilted effect you get on some guitars
Looks strong
Powerfull
Great......
The fender 😆
It wiil be hard to waith the next episode 🤓👍
Best wishes my friend
See you on the next.........
Thanks David, good to have you watching, have a great week!
@@Moonfleet41 thanks my friend
Equally 🤓👍
I like the idea of the swirling effect its good to see something new and unique.
Thanks buddy, hoping I can pull it off.
@@Moonfleet41 ua-cam.com/video/dDqasBjHUNQ/v-deo.html check out the finish @7:01 I saw this and thought of you.
With some paint on the sides and nice clear with some pearl in it and that will look amazing.. citrus orange pearl like I have on my CVO... Would look stunning
Lots of opinions lol. lets wait and see. I know what you are going for. hope it works for you.
i like the mottled top. Cleared on top, black sides with gold leaf pinstripes you say!! Cheeky!! 😁
Cheeky indeed.. why not go for the top score if you can aye.!
be really slick to mask off a few inches in the middle for a fat stripe, and then leave a 1/8 -1/4 gap, and then a thin masking line... Give it a tiny/thick/tiny line look like the thruxtons had but only using the metal as your stripes. Love the idea so far!
Thanks Jamie, all sorts of options still open, so thanks for the inspiration!
That’s a superb video, scuffing finish isn’t for me I love high gloss, having said that I kinda know if you go for it it’ll look great.
Such a great watch and project mate, kind regards.
Thanks buddy, much appreciated !
That could give you a really nice effect if you can pull it off. Kudos for the effort and fingers crossed. I discussed the effect with Mackie when he did the Sportster tins but he wasn't keen in case the metal wasn't thick enough. I reckon you'd have more control with the Dremel - could certainly do a bit of engine turning, but getting it regular is a bit of a bugger 👍
Its not taking any thickness off at all David, just blanching the surface.. and Harley tins are 1.5mm thick if you;re interested for the future.. , so plenty of meat there for this.. ! Just experimenting with a new idea, something different to keep it fresh aye,,! Take care mate, chat soon.. Del.
Nice fender mudguard keep crap off the engine device 😊
Did I miss something; I thought Mackie Bass (sp?) was painting the Street Fighter? 🤔
yeah me too
Nope, that was never a firm plan, he's a mate, and perfectly capable of turning out show winning paint, but I've already taken advantage of his generosity and skills already and I don' want to impose, I wanna try new things each time if I can... he's a demon pin striper, so maybe something to add to the Harley for later... but he does live 300 miles away!
Cloggsy Goodwin That was my thought too!!!
Good idea to wrap the Street fighter 👍
never would have thought to do that to the fender having the scrubbed look .personally i think your right to only do the top and paint the sides that way avoiding overkill i love the way you dare to do things differently ..another great video keep up the good work team db
Thanks Tom.. much appreciated..
I seem to recall doing something similar years ago using valve lapping paste and using the drill press. Obviously that method only works on flat surfaces.I get the feeling the scuffage wont be on your finished product :)
Go for it del. as you say if it looks crap can always revert back to black etc. as is said go with your gut.
Del, do yourself a favor and buy a random orbital sander, you wont regret it (orbital not oscillating, there is a massive difference) , I got a decent JCB one in B&Q for £50
I get what your trying to do that brushed look done the right way in the right places can look fantastic but its usually done with machine precision and still resembles 70's era artex ceilings IMO, but I am still curious to see how it looks in the daylight.
Yeah i agree Dean.. if it was uniformed it would look a bit naff..! and yeah, 70's artex... lol.. you had that in your house too then?
Yeah I grew up with artex and woodchip, being a decorator now I spend 90% of my life ripping the stuff out to great satisfaction, when I pop me clogs I'll do so knowing I've made the world a better place lol
@@Moonfleet41 Lol yeah I cant comment to boldly on that because I'm guilty of that particular sin myself when I cut my teeth in the trade in the early 90's, I shudder at the thought now, although I see its making a comeback they even make a roller with chunks cut out.....no thank you! lol
Smaller polished circles evenly set using a drill press would give a better result. Gold candy clear base with clear burgundy then lacquered would look good.
Briljant idea, wrapping the street fighter Del. Seriously 👍.
Hope the front fender slash forward mudguard is gonna look great. I like the idea on that aswel.
Thanks buddy, its the best option all round, bigger area to wrap, and something a bit more creative for he Harley..! Win win aye.!
@@Moonfleet41 sure is! 👍
Nicely done Del, that’s different for sure. Looking forward to seeing the finished product mate. What else is on your list for the bike to complete it?
Hi buddy.. just finishing touches now, it was no more than a make over.. and i want to ride it before the end of this month..!
Can't say ive seen that effect before bud. I'll be intrested to see how that turns out. If you decide against it how bout try your hand at some pinstriping?
Man,really good like you have done this type of work before 👍🏼. I was cringing when you scrubbed with course pads and fender was on supportive blocks, thought they would of gotten damaged like at start of video😊. Really cool showing & sharing your skills 😎
Looks good, the fender design pattern sometimes called "Fish Scale" or "Scalloping" design, take it easy both D/P
Thanks buddy, good to hear from you, hope life is good... D&Px
So strange to see you throwing the trash over your shoulder, you're always so neat and tidy (ocd!) 😀
Looking forward to see how the metal turns out.
ha ha, i cleared it up right away though..lol! Thanks buddy.
I like the scuff finish del looks good mate. The fighter wrapped awesome. Got to be camo😎😎😎
Thanks Phil, what the guys have explained to be that they're designing is a bit crazier than that!
@@Moonfleet41 sounds interesting can't wait to see it 😎😎
I though you'd already sold the Streetfighter, can't wait to see it wrapped though.
👍
Swirlage I like del should so pin strips down each edge look well classic then white fender and black pin strip only my idea tho del I'm sure what ever you have planned will look killer. I do love a good painting video top man keep it up 👍👍
Swirlage indeed, Pin stripe maybe yes, but not white im afraid, its just not a colour for this bike... i hope you like what ive chosen... stick with it... take care. Del.
@@Moonfleet41 del if you wanted it pink with unicorns on it is still watch that video , can't wait to see Saturday's video EXCITED 👍
ermm not to sure about the swirls but have an open mind and trust your judgement ( Penny's eyes rolling ) and like you say if doesn't work you can always paint , Beauty is in the eye of the beholder ,
I do like the street fighter, but that belly pan is a bulbous belly :)
Hmm - as you say; worth a try but its not doing it for me - it has a kind of galvanised wheelbarrow look about it ;-) love the channel!
Seems like a little to much black for me but, since that's what you like, go for it. I was curious what is the name of that band or guy playing that music in the back ground.
I really like it.
Nice Video
👍
Thanks you mate.. the Band is "The Sickstring Outlaws" and the track "Outlaw man" !
I like how you try things but I'm not sure I'm a fan of the swirl effect for the Harley but I might be wrong, my Mrs says I usually am! 😂
Ok, stick with it buddy, and see what you think when it's finished... tank next!
@@Moonfleet41 it will probably look better in the flesh and when it's all done. It will defo have character and a style of its own. Sometimes I don't think outside the box (wish I did more). Like you said yourself you are playing with ideas and you'll see how you feel in a day or two. I've learned a lot from your videos and its giving me more confidence to try things with my own bikes. Thank you
It’ll look good, I’d stick with it
I can already hear the doubt in your voice about keeping the scuffage...... For me its far to random, perhaps if it had a proper engineered precision about it maybe. But probably not. But as you say - its a reversible experiment so what the hell, nothing lost.
Yeah exactly, it's just a bit of fun, I need to base coat it anyway, so just having some fun experiementing!
Well Del, It is different.........I am following what you are thinking......good for you trying something new. ............Question what is the brand name of that Black Paint..I am hope I can get it here in California. Always a Pleasure Take Care.
Hi Bradley, the actual paint is 'Simoniz Tough Paint', not sure if it's available Stateside, but I think Rustoleum do a similar range of products, it's a tough, protective, flexible paint for chassis and crash bars.
