First time SV650

[pitontheprowl]

This happened because I got tired of painting on wrecked fenders and hoods.
I was also tired of having a scooter that looked like all the others, so in a matter of 2 weeks this all stock 2000 got some carb work, a rear fender eliminator, new mirrors, new LED turn signals, a new fairing, and fresh paint.

I stuck with the base "helos pearl red" and scuffed it all down. The front fender was first and I over killed it compaired to the rest of the bike. I have another front fender that is in prime right now and it may do on later but for now I can deal with it. I just need to learn when to stop

Some of the licks are so light I could not get them to show up on my cheap @$$ camera.

Dont laugh too hard, this really was my first try with the air brush on something that was NOT going to get sanded off and painted over again.

I have played with my ab a little off and on, though I am familiar with it because I use to use it to touch-up rock chips at a body shop I use to prep at.
I will post another post on two pieces I took pics of when I was playing around.

PS---Auto-Air

Pit, not to bad. It almost looks like a fade from front to back, makes it look cool.

the headlight & fender will stand out, well done work

Doesn't look bad in the pics , nice job. what really matters is do you like it? are you satisfied the way it came out ? We only get better the more we paint and practice, will the next one be better, of course

I like it








it's just paint

i like it too - hottest at the point furthest forward, slowly fades off as you go back...KEWL!
