It cost a fiver, its beautiful matt black, it took half an hour.

I reckon it makes the bike look ten times better.

Ariel, if you look at the second pic you can see the lid off a tin of paint on the floor, it is NOT photo shopped.

The screen made you think that?

I actually thought the same until heshowed the spray and black hands Shocked Laughing

I think you should have left the screen alone.

The screen was wank, and the back light was to give it that "smoked effect", works fine though.



And yes the the budget for today was 5 pounds, so with some sand paper it was kept to that. The gloves would have been pushing it. Mr. Green


The wheels will be getting done, need another can of paint though.

Decals/styling? on something that is starting its transformation to a rat bike?

and the original colors set it off nicely.



Nah that pic of the original look didn't show at all, but the paint work was crap any way, had scratches lumps dints and chips out of it.
