Thanks. I decided to use a dark pearl Honda red as it will be a great contrast to the main colour that is yet to be applied.

For show Gilly?...................... I DON'T THINK SO :roll:

Shelly not yet, the lids were only started on Tuesday & was stripping & masking.

Bod, not sure yet. The prep, prime & white base coat was done for me at RAF Wittering by the Serco crew. The lining & masking for the flag was approx. 3 hours. All the ripped effect masking film was cut by hand.

well you wanted comments good or bad.......................now take offence if you want but it looks like it would stand out on a novice club bike, the finish might look good but think painter needs to go back to design studio.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i'll wait for a load of abuse but hey ........do i look bothered....

Now constructive Stu? Too complicated, too hard to repair (it is Si ) were my first thoughts.
It would look great in a bike show but on TV maybe a bit mishy?
Or the lines not flowing?

Or is it because it's not Blue and White :D Come on Stu, I know you can finish what you were thinking :beer:
