That looks really nice - wasn't sure about the Blue and Silver when you posted the 'in progress' painting pics , but where it's all together it works great  - regards Kev

well, Will, mate??.. first I agonized over what graphics I wanted ?









 then had a graphic artist make something out of my doodling?..





then swapped my MZ ETZ250 project bike for a sign writer to cut stencils/masks  - then after undercoating, painted the tank sides silver, had the stencil/mask applied,
this is the masking over the silver



then air brushed the blue ? what you see is with the blue on and the mask peeled off the silver



next to mask the silver and blue so the selenite grey can be applied. Then all masks off, some light sanding to feather the different paint thicknesses, and the clear (2 pack matt) applied over.

I know, I could have used stickers but wanted a professional, contemporary finish??.. here is hoping.....  :)

Keep up the pics, i'm learning the 2 pak base coat  systems & solids, well it's been about 10 yrs alone & another 10 watching & listening to mates & relatives & it's always a test but where you are there with all that pin striping & air brushing is another level. I'd love to see it done as you go.
Lots of pics of the masking etc would be great. Whats the clear looking tape or whatever on the corners of the rear cowl ?
