99 Harley Road King - Police Edition

[SeaJay's]

This bike was dropped off with me 2 weeks ago (customer picked up last Thursday night). He wanted my Show Bike package which includes full paint correction. There were some stickers to be removed as well.

Overall I put about 15 hours worth of work into the bike. 4 and 1/2 was spent on the spoke wheels alone!

I want to thank TL Mitchell for helping me out a long the way with this. This would be the first motorcycle paint correction I have done and he was able to give me some pointers.

FYI - Bike was repainted to the green color from the original white.

And the afters

Brought back the gloss and depth of the paint - Sorry no sun shots...as soon as I brought the bike out to snap some pics it started pouring...so the bike got

The customer was ecstatic with the results and said that it never looked as good as it does now.

Thanks for reading!

Thanks! The haze is actually still there. I did get it to improve some but at certain angles you can still see it. But the customer was happy and since it was a repaint (confirmed with the customer) I assume it was like that from the booth.

This ^ is the most important part, this is why we do it! The bike still looks awesome even if a slight haze remains (I don't see it) so don't let that take away from a job well done.

Just realized i forgot to state that I treated all the chrome and wheels with UTTG to hopefully make my job easier when the bike comes back for maintenance washes.

Very true! He didn't notice it either until I took my brinkmann light out and showed him.

Looks great! Now you know why all my bikes have cast wheels.

Very nice work Jason ..... :xyxthumbs:
That is a lot of fine areas to detail and you made it look incredible.

How are you liking your new ride?

From the looks of those wheels I can understand why a large part of your time was spent there...wow. :urtheman:

Excellent work, I just did a motorcycle yesterday and damn spoke wheels are a nightmare, great work for sure!

HAHA, yes I do! If I ever own a bike it will NOT have spoke wheels!

Jason looks nice, when I think of someone detailing a bike it always makes my knuckles hurt. Its just so hard to get your hands in all that nooks and crannies.

What was the Plex-All used on?

The Plex-all was used on the wind shield. It was a plastic and after I hit it with it with some M205, I used the plex-all to clean it.
