so, after deciding not to do any kind of custom paint on the fairings, i have decided that ill do something to make it my own, Ive done a flame design on the tank out of fiberglass to give it abit of height and will fill it later on with bog, to give it some smooth lines, hopefully this works out ok,, will update with some pics of the following stages as they happen,, its abit cold at the moment so the fiberglass is not going off as quick as id like it to, even tho i added extra hardener
