Hello WW.
Been busy flatting off the clear and laying out the design in fine line, endless task, continually adjusting. Had to call it quits and draw a line under it (boom boom) at some point and move on to the next stage. With it being the first time candy and flake not really sure what I can get away with or not. There's a couple of flaws in the flake but I'm hoping I can hide them in the candy. Who knows!!!!
Laying out the design proved troublesome trying to make accurate intersections in the fine line, a couple of cans and some middle aged eyes resulted in close up blurred vision, not very helpful when trying to scalpel accurately!

Solution....




Ready for endless masking now...

I'll be under the radar now until sprayed I reckon. See you on the other side hopefully.

I think your beating yourself up too much, for a first crack at this your doing a great job.

And a few mistakes, who cares.
I've seen some jobs from top painters recently where symmetry is out etc but only I notice that as I've done this style of paint.
Your average Joe (no offence to anybody) will be too busty looking at it as one complete unit rather than picking up on a few imperfections.

But then again when I'm striping in my own worst critic, suppose it's the passion you have for it.

Keep up the excellent work mate, your doing a cracking job

Hay Late, I'm loving this project. Fair play to you for having (a bloody good) got at it. Don't take to long as I can't wait to see the finished scooter. I'm not a fan of cut downs, but you could change my mind.
Good luck mate.

Paintwork nearly done. It's been emotional.

+1 on the perfection front .

You can see why custom paint costs so much .

I love it and the fact your sharing it with us keep the updates coming

Just gone through your thread again, looking for your cables thru frame pics and spotted that you have the yellow Road Runner Lammy too.

Good ol Photobucket fecked up the thread, but thankfully YouTube exists. Paint is done. Waiting on a seat arriving 2moro, been let down by upholster but that could change by IoW Fri am. MoT intended 2moro anoon once seat arrives from Allstyles. Zero miles on clock... we'll see whappens. It's been emotional.
