Just got done giving my stretch cruiser its make over. I didnt like the metallic blue/ flame decal paint job it had so I needed to rat it out asap! Just got done with it, what do you guys think? I still need to re-upholster the seat in a Mexican serape blanket, but I havent found one yet. So once I get that, it'll be finished!

Looks great! Two things would make it better a rear fender mounted reflector and a parking spot in my shed. :mrgreen:
 
I live close to a pretty busy interstate (I-95) and one of the truck stop gas stations in town sells the Mexican blankets, so that might be a type of place for you to check.
 
Thanks to everyone for the input! I'm really happy on how it turned out! It was really cool working on this paint job, its really cool on how you can make it your own.

*** I will be adding some baby bee lights to the rear, and maybe a light with visor on the front. I will also be making a license plate for it out of some scrap metal I have. As for the blanket I will have to go check out my local truck stop, thanks again everyone!
 
Personally not a huge fan of contrived aging, but aside from the "rust" I really do like the paint and overall you've made the bike look so much better.
