BSA tank finished

also i started on a BSA bantam tank, thers a few pics below of it with basecoat on and ready for top, after masking off the BSA unique design i masked up the silver that would stay silver and began spraying a beautiful electric blue over it, and this is what it looked like after a good polish.

 SILVER BASECOAT


 MASKED



BOOM! JUST HOW IT'D HAVE LOOKED BACK IN 1968 ;)

Honda Flame job

This will be my first total bike spray job. Originally the gentleman gave me a few bike pieces e.g. mudguard, tail piece, fearing, side panels and he wanted them painting gloss black. So heres a picture of the fearing i did for him


This is the bike

this is just the front fearing that houses the headlight, pretty basic job of flattening down and gloss blacking.


However after havin a bit of a chat with the guy, i originally painted a motorbike tank that was silver with black flames that sits down in their workshop and we started to think up an idea of actully painting the whole bike black with silver flames. So i took away the fearing again and resprayed it. Considering i did this in 2 hours in a 5x5 shed with aerosol cans, a hairdryer and hopes and dreams, it lookd pretty fuckin mean!





So hopefully the tank, side panels will follow this design, im really excited about douing this project! not only will it look fuckin awesome but its a good chance to improve my skills which im greatful for. Hopefully should have the go ahead to collect the tank pretty soon then i cam work my magic
