Bushtec Roadstar paint work complete
« on: September 17, 2007, 01:48:20 AM »

I was a slut this weekend in Hot Springs.  And not even a cheap one.  Pulled the new (to me) trailer for the first time. Just to see what it was like as much as anything else.  All the advice from those that had been there before was much appreciated over the weekend.

Had a few weeks ago got it painted to color match the light red on the bike.  And it looked good.  No complaints at all really.

Then at the Hot Springs event saw a painter working who had done some work for me before and who I'd seen many times around the country.  Pitched my general idea to him of a nice simple way to finish connecting the look of the bike and the trailer.  He said, sounds good, couple hundred bucks.  I said "sounds good, I'll go get the trailer."

Of course actually looking at it he had good ideas to extend my initial, basic, frugal idea.  And as he did I kicked my hind leg log a dog who is getting "the spot" scratched just right.  So $200 became $400.  But I like what he did.  With the Screamin bird engraving in the forks already, and the air cleaner cover and the shifter the work continues the them from front to rear very well.  His color match of the gold and the orange are dead on too.

Sorry for showing off a bit here.  But I really like how it ended up.

Then while at Hot Springs it went from the admittedly good looking all red to this even better looking all red with red SEEG complements:

That's not bragging, it's sharing.  Isn't that what this site is for?

That looks fantastic and you've raised the bar for the rest of us on the fence regarding trailers.  Congratulations.  I hope you get many miles of smiles from that rig.  I think it's time to quit your job and go find yourself on a 7,000 mile trip.

Thanks guys.  Really appreciate it.  I don't get any credit for this last bit of work of course.  That's all Joey Hutson working at the rally site.  He really did do a nice job.  He convinced me his idea would work and show up better than what I'd originally thought of and he was right.

Left to my own devices I'd have had just the eagle head with a bit of flamed tail done in solid in the dark red from the bike and have that outlined by a thin orange pinstripe.  Joey told me they'd not highlight well one from the other.  A bit of paint dabbed on for illustration showed he was right.

Then went on to sketching out this Plan B and adding the text in the gold color from the bike and adding the striping on the lid to pick up the work on the top surfaces of the bike.  All done I'm really pleased with the guy's work.  Glad there's audience among our gang of friends that also likes a little bird infested trailer.

Don,

The trailer looked awesome, before and after the striping. Are you going to get it cleared now?
