Richard Petty

This Harley Ultra Classic was painted for Richard "The King" Petty
to use for a charity ride sponsored by Kyle Petty.
The bike was stripped down and primed then repainted using BASF Ocean Extreme Base Coat. Petty's signature blue and orange were used to pinstripe in factory Harley style. Last some ghosted images, a few painted signatures, and some flags were added. The bike did have a short window for completion but I feel came out well.
When finished, The bike was shipped back to Petty Enterprises
where I was lucky enough to be invited to sit in on a photo shoot with the bike. After the shoot wrapped, Mr. Petty himself gave a tour of his shop and some of his personal collection. Mr. Petty was a wonderful, down to earth, and gracious host and even gave some person autographs before we left.
Below are a few pictures of his shop at the time.
Lucky for me he must have liked it, he did joke about me having a job if the paint thing didn't work out and even had me do a few helmets for him.
