Recently i posted some pictures of an old Honda motorcycle that needed a respray. Initially after tedious hours of masking and striping we thought wed settled on a silver and black flame job, however looking back now we thought the curves of the flames would not compliment the linear box shape of the tank and side panels. Therefore he came up with the idea of a candy white backdrop with gloss black topcoat panels. Here is a picture of the old idea:
As you can see the flames may look ok on the curved headlight shroud, but the tank was a no go.
Therefore these next pictrues show where the gloss black stripe will sit down the centre of the tank between the pinstripe, along with a black quadrilateral shape block panel sprayed either side of the tank with a section of candy white breaking up the black in between. (there will also be a red pinstripe going between the black and white, tape as im nowere near good enough to freehand :P )
excuse the crude pinstriping ;) a few minor adjustments had to be made. But so far the tank is primered and now just needs a good few coats of candy white, then after flattening that down with 2000 and when the paint has hardened then comes the fun part, masking up all the white and spraying on the gloss black, should have a picture of this up within the week but got a few things on at minute so we shall see. But yeah, its gonna look the dogs bollocks cruisin round in the summer!!!
