My New ZX7R Skin **NEW PICS**

Post by dutchy »

I've been busy the last couple of weeks. It all started with a pic i photoshopped a couple of months ago to see how it'd come up and then i thought i'd take the leap and have a crack it. this is the result.

My first spray gun experiance. I learn't a bit while doing it but not enough to get a "proffessional" finish, but thats why its a trade i guess!!
She looks pretty darn good if you have a gander at her, (but if you creep up real close you'll see the finish has all the texture of an old golf ball). :lol:
I exaggerate a little, it aint that bad.

I'm just waiting to apply some decals some nice bloke is going to help me with ;) , a couple of kuda's, and maybe eventually a new tankpad. :kuda:
more pics when its labelled.

TA DAAAA!

So when are you going to paint the race glass? Just kidding, it looks pretty good, especially for a home job. Did you paint it with 2pac?

2K needs a heap of practice to get right, there is a real art to using it, not to mention that you really need a spray booth to use it leagally :roll: :lol:

Looks awesome dutch! 8)

I didn't think I liked white bikes originally, but they have really grown on me.

Good stuff! :D

Gee, I'd hate to see your shed if it was really dirty, it's cleaner than some houses I've seen :lol:

Love the organised bench, even the lids nailed on and the bottled then screw on, very nice 8)

I'm going to make myself a bike stand/workbench, now I've got one to copy off :kuda:
