    Default Eagle and flames tank-opinions please

    Been a while since I posted but I've been keeping busy with working 4 jobs. Anyhow, I started this bike and well I'm stuck. This is the second time I have started to paint it, get a bit done and just don't like it. I don't know if it's my airbrushing or if I just really hate this base color....lol.

    I know I got a little too heavy on the darks around the eyes of the eagle. But I do like the ghost effect I have going on with the flames.

    Anyhow here are a few pix of what it done so far. Any idea's or help welcome and would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for all the comments, I'll keep everyone posted as I go. I still have the other half of the tank and front faring to do. The owner of the bike came down to check out progress the other day and loved it. I'm still a little iffy on it but I have come to the conclusion I just don't like the base color. Lol. Oh well, ya gotta do what the customer asks for...

    Hey trbl mkr, That's looking great! Very nice work. Yes, colors can really impart comfort or discord to your inner being. LOL But, if the client likes it then it's A O K comforting or not.

    I like the contrast on the tank. I think that looks really good. as for the rear fender, i think that right now the shield jumps out to much for the rest of the bike.

    Other then that I think your off to a great start. Please post more

    Everything looks well done, but I have a question: when it gets cleared, will it make everything pop out? Or will the flames need to be darkened up? Just asking for my my knowledge as well. I like the base coat color.

    I actually cleared the front faring and the half of the tank and it looks amazing! I am soo happy. I was afraid it would look like poo but I am so surprised now...lol.

    The flames turned out just as I wanted them too. same with the rest of it. I'm so excited.


    Stroke'n it - Depending on how heavy and what base you use is whether or not it will be brought out. A white base yes it will bring out the flames. With the silver base it gives it a more transparent effect (ghost). Unless you lay a really heavy coat of silver for the base.




















    The faring is still green so I didn't want to handle it more then needed so it will have to wait for sunny shots
