Where is everyone #5

Black is by far the hardest color to paint. And not have wave back at you.

 

I go go wherever...no pc needed.
However, truckstops around here are always full....always. fortunately this place is 24/7. So there is alot of traffic and what not here. Which is a good thing in this case. Ahh, is what it is. Can't always choose the outcome in life.

 

Isn't that like a Harley rule....they all have to be black?

 

No, I didn't want a black one. But I found mine low miles and was black. My last Honda had way better paint. But as many Hondas I have owned. I'll never buy another Honda road bike. Quality went down.


04 Honda


08 Dyna Street bob.

The Honda got 10mpg better. The Harley is better built and assembled. 10x more power. Just wish I had that orange on it.

 

I think the quality has went down while the price has gone up on most things in life....unfortunately. it seems to be a trend.

 

That ta was usually always good for a spot way in the very back corner. I havent been there in years tho

 

It's crazy here these days, your not missing out. There was a literal line out to the interstate for fuel earlier. There are sooooo many trucks here it's not even funny.

 

One of the projects I worked on was a chopped and lowered 71 Eldorado. Was very cool when we did get done with it. All smooth, no door handles everything else was frenched, some louvers here and there.
2 inches out of the front, inch and a half out of the back. Yep full hydraulic suspension. A full on trailer show queen. The paint was full black. 6 months to get it right, and that was barely show quality.

 

Dang thats craziness !

 

I get it. Towing service i managed. We did all the paint and body work. When it's a NRC with flat sides. I dont care what color it is. 37 foot truck needs to be straight. Now I might have been in charge, but we had painters. I was the cheap labor helping out, when I could. Im no body guy. But have learned a few things. 95% prep, 5% paint. Goes along way.
