    2004 Harley Davidson Duece - Dual-stage paint correction and coating


    Picture of the bike as it was dropped off

    Picture showing the condition of the paint on the tank. The paint had tons of swirls

    Another photo showing the tank after washing

    A photo of the rear fender showing the more swirling

    A before picture of the rear wheel

    Another good before picture showing the condition that the tank was in

    Ready to get to work on this to bring the paint back to life

    Here is a 50/50 shot with after a light polishing with Reflect.

    This is a great 50/50.

    A picture of the rear fender before I started polishing it

    Picture of the tank after polishing.

    A photo showing the rear fender after polishing

    Picture of the other side of the tank after polishing

    After shot of the coating that was applied. The bike has 2 coats of Americoat on it to keep it protected

    A shot after applying to coats of Americoat and curing overnight

    The finished product. The paint now has lots of depth and gloss

    Another after shot, this had lots of chrome to polish



    A shot showing the mirror like finish of the paint now. I love this paint on this bike.

    Thanks for looking!

    I used a Rupes mini for all the polishing with a blue 3" Lake County flat pad. I used Chemical Guys Metal Wax on the a lot of the chrome, along with S100 on the motor. I also used APC while cleaning the motor and other areas.

    Great job on a great piece of american steel. There is so much to these bikes that people who have never done them realize. Even more when you do full out customs. The end results are worth ever minute. Great job once again
