In the early 70's I covered my '48 Indian Chief with shiny, flowered contact paper.

That's very... Interesting...

Now, if only that bike could talk!

Uh..... that's not contagious, is it?

Sure hope not, I wouldn't want to find my paint job looking like that! Might be alright for some folks, but not for me.

Later on, Bill

Yeah, my bike is going to be a very dark british racing green. Who knows why the previous owner painted it summer of love green.

British Racing Green, there ya go. My wife always wanted a British Racing Green Jag XKE. Best I could do at the time was a 94' Plymouth Grand Voyager painted a similar color.

Not quite the same, huh?

She didn't mind too much, at least it was the approximate color.

The flower pattern fits right in as a period piece. Looks great IMHO. If you had just done it, well.......

I absolutely love it. No question- it kicks butt. Bold. Good job, too. That stuff is hard to work with.

I have a picture somewhere of me wearing a bold floral dashiki. Wore it to high school and the principal made me put on a school T-shirt. I figured if the black kids could wear 'em, why not me?! I should have taken the school to court, but Pop wouldn't let me...

Another paint job from the WTF files.
