my bike
Started airbrushing my bike recently with help from various Craig Fraser stencils.. will post more pics soon... the main theme will be diamond plate across the fairing etc.The tank will have something different, maybe ripped metal with brains underneath.. this is an idea for the Suzuki badge on either side or the fairing... those stencils definately help

Re: my bike
to be honest, i am making it up as i go along.. not sure what im gonna do next, i`ll have an idea then just go with it and then probably go off at a tangent.. .. it wasnt until i had done the rear panels then stood back to see, that i realised it looked slightly giger-ish.. it was definately accidental but im really enjoying doing it

Re: my bike
This is shaping up really great. I can't wait to see it when it's cleared.
If you don't post the finished product we may have to hurt you!!!

Re: my bike
Finally finished the tank, all i have to do now is clear all the panels.. i was thinking of getting a quote from a spray shop for a proffessional job. i have cleared things in the past,which have turned out ok,but seeing as this is my first full bike and it depends on the price of course..

Re: my bike
This is looking sick! Looking foward to see it cleared and all come together. This a daily ride? Ought to really stand out. What makes this really work is the attention you payed to wrapping the diamond plate pattern to keep it uniform, even with all the compound angles. Could'nt have been easy. Personally, this is where I see alot of these style jobs fall down. Very nicely done.

Re: my bike
the diamond plate was made easier by the stencil but there were times when it was difficult to wrap it round and a few places it didnt match up as when i bent it round bends it distorts it slightly which means it didnt match at other areas... it is my only bike but to be honest i dont ride it every day or that often really... im a "fair weather biker" and as the sun doesnt come out very often here in the UK(about 2 weeks per year).... lol... "bring global warming on",i say

Re: my bike
An absolutely amazing job. I only have one suggestion.... Do the tires rims, they stand out really bad, and the purple doesn't go with the rest of the colour scheme.
