(11.)The color of choice was candy red with silver and gold graphics. Then Casey, one of the other painters, placed the logo on the tank.

(12.)The logo and the striping along the tank and fender needed to get masked off and trimmed before the next coat of silver paint was sprayed on.

(13.)Scott airbrushed all the silver graphics along the fenders to look like frame rails.

(14.)The gas tank logo has stars worked into it to flow with the rear fender. However, the stars on the fender will have a little twist to them.
