I'm bored so I've decided to repaint my bike at the weekend, dunno how long it'll stay that colour for but a change'd be nice.

It'll be one solid matt monocolour all over, wheels, tank, switches, engine, lights, everything.

It's a honda bros, with a 650 transalp engine botched in, bike itself cost pretty much nothing, bought it as a normal looking bike and bastardised it myself. All the bits that are on it I either had or made from shit I had laying about.

Here's the story including a step-by-step guide:

I've just voted without reading the thread... bit late, but I said sand, 'cos that's what I wanted to do my rat project if I got one- might do yet. Red oxide looks good too, at least on cars.
