Ok so please mind my iPod photos.
Here she is b4
I started tearing her down, and got all the plastic basically sanded and the small holes welded/filled, and then hit a motivation bump that took 13" of snow to get over it.
this worked good for sanding, pice of mop handle with pipe insulation then wrap sand paper

So now I got to it and got her all painted flat black! All I could say was SICK!
Next was the tank design (i know tank is air box).
My idea was some pegasus wings in smoked out gold that had the emblem in stark gold on top. First was to make the wings. I thought up an idea and sketeched it out on news print that I prefit to the tank contour. Then was to cut them out just like a stencil and spay on top. I first primed the newsprint with hair spray to prevent bleeding through. Then tape off the tank and spray away!
Next was the smoking, I really just dusted the wings with my black paint.
Then I layed the old Buell emblem on the tank and traced out with a pencil and taped it off with painters tape-this took forever!!! Then I sprayed heavy with my gold and blamy!!! After this I followed the wings leaving a 1/4" space with painters tape. Taped off the rest of the tank to show some gloss and flat contrast and clear coated the $hitt out of it-8 coats. After dried I put the bike all back together, much better than yellow (my opinion) sorry i didnt trade one of u guys for darker but this was done before I was a member.
Here is Lucy watching and here is my bike in my truck eagerly waiting just before the Blizzard........c'mon Jake.....
Hope this might help some of you... and yeah I'll do urs too!!!
