The most popular flame graphic ever released by the Motor Company; the entire limited-edition run of only 100 paint sets sold out within minutes of its dealer show debut, and this graphic scheme was reproduced on numerous diecast toys, collectibles, beach towels, and even became the graphic on the store sign of several H-D dealers throughout North America

Color-shifting Magenta-to-Gold House of Kolor ‘Kamelion’ flames

Flame Graphics are House of Kolor ‘Kamelion’ Silver-to-Green pearl color-shifting basecoat; color changes with the viewing angle. $2500 per gallon, made somewhat more affordable in series production by using machine-cut vinyl flame graphic stencils which followed the path of my precision vector computer drawings, creating a perfect edge that doesn’t need pinstriping, thus saving that associated labor cost, which would approach $20,000 for a production run of 200 3-piece paint sets. Bar & Shield logo is 2D silver urethane paint, hand-airbrushed in a multistage process using computer-cut vinyl stencils to achieve a 3D effect. I also engineered templates so that the production layout crew would always apply the logo stencil in the same place on the tank and at the proper angle, aligned with the center thrust line of the tank itself as prescribed personally by Willie G.
