My Pink Sparkly Harley

Bought my Harley Sportster in black, and wanted it spray it pink, since I'm a breast cancer survivor, but decided to go super sparkly instead, so I purchased an entire can of boat flake. Took my bike apart by removing specific pieces, sanded, primed, re-based it in black gloss, and sprayed in Pink Metallic Flake (used an auto spray gun). Because it's on a black base, the pink flake gives it a "purple" hue. I scanned and resized their pink/black logo on vinyl, clear coated, and added "bling". When it hits the sun, or under night lights, the sparkle is amazing! I came up with this idea, ©2010 EMB Designs.

I bet it looks great under the night lights. Perhaps you could figure out a way to incorporate a black lite/strobe on it. That would be really awesome at night going down the road.

Artist Reply: Yes, RQ...it looks super cool under the night lights...a completely different sparkle than the sun! I would love to chrome out the rest, and add some LED lights under...I actually thought of a black light! I think I would get ticketed if I had strobes...lol..but great idea!! :) Thank you again! :)
