Your the best , nice to have you back proud subscriber
Thank you Julie!
Great video!!
Appreciate it Thomas! 👍
Enjoyed another one of your videos what 2K primer do you use
It's made by High Teck. I like using the buff color. Sometimes my jobber runs out and I get the gray though. So you'll see both colors in my videos
@@TAZattitude thanks is that the brand name where do you find that
What is a good all-around finish clear to use I know some of them can break the bank especially if you're doing metal flake or multi-layers
@@sll-tt6bj Yes, High Teck. You might find it from a local jobber but I found it online as well.
@@sll-tt6bj I like using Medallion. High solids and tacks up fairly quick. I believe the number is RS-6100 (not positive on that through)
I also keep in stock and use JC630 Shopline, UC35 HOK along with the JC6700 (I only use this for overalls)
great how to
Appreciate it Jayme
Sorry for being English but what is a “bagger”? I really am English, sorry. 🇬🇧
A bagger is slang for a bike that has saddlebags. Also known as a 'dresser'. Normally a 'full dresser' would be one that has a tour pack (trunk) as well
@@TAZattitude Oh I see, thanks for the explanation. I had seen the term used in several places on the internet and tried to find an explanation without asking but couldn’t. I didn’t want to look stupid for not knowing and having to ask but my curiosity has got the better of me. So I’m not only learning painting tips from you but American slang too. Every day is a school day. 😁👍 Great job with that bagger. ✨✨🎯💯
@@johnniemnemonic73 A bagger is a bike with numerous saddle bags and pouches, it is what happens when a young tough biker gets sick and tired of his chopper or stripped out street bike running out of room for his vest, jacket, gloves and six pack. So they finally break down and get a bike with a wind screen, bags and maybe even a side car. I'm still riding my 96 fatboy with no screen and little bags, I am about ready to make the transition.
Hello Sir,
Are you still doing repairs of this kind?
I have a 1998 road king front fender that I damaged last week when trying to put the bike onto a trailer. I would really like to match the paint as close as possible and repair the damage that I did. Please let me know and I will send pictures if you will provide your email. I would also like a quote after you see the pictures.
I'm sorry, I am not right now. I am currently working for "Bert's Barracuda Harley-Davidson" in Clearwater. We are working on getting a bodyshop together. It may be 2-3 months before it's up and running. You can check back then. Keep an eye on their website for updates and details
arent those fenders cheaper to buy new aftermarket ? accounting the skilled hand time you have into it , sanding and primering ?
Sometimes you can find a decent used one. One problem you have with both big front and big rear fenders is it doesn't take much to crease the sides. If you see a small ding on the rear tip (rear fender) or a small ding on the front tip (front fender), there is a good chance of a crease on the sides by the rivets or the strut holes. So you are lucky to find a good used one.
I believe new primed from Harley are about $400
I have about a total of 1 to 1 1/2 hours. I believe I charged about $100
If it's a Harley OEM fender, they're gonna rob you blind for one. I went in for a quote on a painted 2020 Softail Standard rear fender .. $848.30 Yeah. Almost $850 for a fender. I told them nah you can keep it. So I went on eBay and found a used one with a lot of scratches and one small dent for $85, bought it, and I'm here watching this video to figure out a good way for dent repair.
Great video!!
Glad you enjoyed it
