Not entirely convinced about the indy mirrors, but each to their own Thumbs Up

Is the front fairing done with Halfrauds rattle cans??? satin paint?

Cos IMO the colour scheme looks pretty goood. (I'm planning to repaint my GPZ with satin paint as soon as I get myself organised)

the paint used is a custom paint called wicked cherry red pearl, and the black is intense gloss back, i then used a couple of cans of clear coat laquer, ive used paint like before and sometimes it dont wear to well but im liking this one, if i had a better quality camera i could show you its rather glossy, and as for the indi's i put them in the mirrors as the mounting bracket behind the fairing had snapped and i had a set of mirrors lying about so i drilled them with a hole saw and used sum strong glue to hold the bulb holder in place inset in the mirror, i then took the lense and placed it over the hole and used bodywork filler to fill around and then sanded it down to look smooth, i know its not to everyone liking but i put sum time into doing so, so i kinda proud of it lol, sad i know Mr. Green

ps. to get the silver stripe i sprayed a fat line all the way up the bike where i wanted it in silver then ran painters tape over the silver all the way, i then sanded down again and sprayed top half red and bottom half black, sounds easy lol, but time and effort os required even for a half decent finish

needs something on the front maybe.

this is just a quick idea

other than that a few standard decals would finnish it off, looks quite good Thumbs Up

(and i agree about the indicator/mirror things.)

Tattoo Artist · Scooby Slapper Joined: 06 Sep 2006 Karma :

liking the idea palmer would look good in gloss back perhaps edged with silver cud u knock up a photoshop of this?

and would u mind if i did it lol? Karma

palmer · Fiddled Kiddy Joined: 21 Jul 2004 Karma :

wouldnt know where to start with photoshop, owning a copy might help lol Razz

im wanting to do it with my bike to hide some weird pink pinks, but im thinking of buying some black vinyl sheets rather than spraying, to see if i like it. then will be spraying it to make it permanent.

lol took me ages to figure out what u did, any tips for gettin oil off tarmac

Finglonga · World Chat Champion Joined: 27 Jul 2004 Karma :

Tattoo Artist · Scooby Slapper Joined: 06 Sep 2006 Karma :

so basically if i rip up tarmac ,scan it in computer then print of new full size picture of tarmac then im sorted, cool im on it now

Finglonga · World Chat Champion Joined: 27 Jul 2004 Karma :

Is it tarmac or concrete? If concrete you can use Gunk but don't use it on tarmac as the stuff will burn big holes in it.

I think maybe putting silver where the black is, and white where silver is(on the front fairing idea), might look ik.... Indys not to taste, but you like em so.. Thumbs Up

he photoshopped the oil off my driveways, and ive tried patio cleaner to no avail, allbeit focus diy brand but i find focus better than b&q

palmer · Fiddled Kiddy Joined: 21 Jul 2004 Karma :

tried TFR? (traffic film remover)
cleans most oil/sticky messes up.
