So let me get this right, you have been spraying your bike on a windy day in the f
king woods?
I can't wait to see the finished product, I'm sure it'll be better than that helmet you had, but then again maybe not.
in the woods, really?!
My garages have stuff in them. I'd end up with paint all over my stuff. Plus it wouldn't dry in there. king woods?I can't wait to see the finished product, I'm sure it'll be better than that helmet you had, but then again maybe not.

It really doesn't look so bad. Honestly so much better than before.

Keep up the good work 
So I started doing some more tonight, there was a bit of a problem though, theres no easy way to say this but it was a bit dark by the time I got in from work. And when I mean dark, I mean 6 o'clock in the winter dark.
But we didn't win the war by stopping when it was dark so I armed myself with a head torch, some fags and a lighter and went to the woods again. My theory being, paint should be applied evenly. SO, not being able to really see it means I can apply it from bottom to top without going over a bit too much.
the seat was a bugger as it has foam, so I cut out a bit of newspaper and stuck it on, kinda. I became incredible frustrated with this. It reminded me of my days at school in art class. I start with such great expectations, id picture something spectacular, and within 30 minutes I felt like flinging it through the window as I have the shakes and im only 27 years old. I have to confess I need to touch this up a bit, some of my fag ash got stuck onto it, but that's easy fixed, it honestly was tiny.
I gave this a wee sand down when I got in, as I wasn't happy with a section. Came out really well. No problems.
This was a tricky section, could only do so much, obviously as its quite large and having to transport it back and forwards. It was all going well till I lifted it in the air and hit a tiny tree branch/twig coming home. but I need to do a second coat anyway. Perfection and all that.

Whatever you do, don't make it look like a shakey handed jock painted it with a bog brush in the woods on a dark, cold night
People WILL point at you
You mock but you haven't seen it in the flesh. It's really quite good. I mean seriously considering it's mainly been done in the woods at night it doesn't look much worse than my helmet People WILL point at you

oh dear, its all went a bit st.
I decided to do a bit silver to see how it looks, it was too windy to be doing it and I couldn't really get an even coat, then the wind blew it out my hands hitting some neighbours hedge on the way home..
Good match to the silver I have on the tank mind you.
it might look a bit ste just now but the black is very hard to cover up and will need at least two coats.
It will look much better when its had its second coat...................probably
