Stiff-up your brush: paint porn

Does no one think its a bit OTT. And as a whole bike the frame is too detailed. Does anyone get what I'm saying?

I think it's intentionally OTT. The detail and quality of work are both so high that it soars far and away from "I could have done that."
It invites the viewer to look closely at it, again and again. You don't 'get it' in a single glance. I like it a lot.

Hmm... Planning a respray of my track frame (a fuji track 1.0). Liking these novelty effect paints, e.g.

^wow thats some insane paint work. nice single colour skills going on there !

Innit? Wish I had mates like that guy.

As much as I like a trick finish, a well executed single colour can be up with the best of them.

and good colour selection as well.

Twas a shame the total build didn't do the frame justice.

A little overboard with the holo sparkle lacquer, no?

the raw crabon stays looks pretty neat

So good, especially the second: such class.

more Cherubim goodness

Keep 'em coming.

That's very good

I was wondering as to what kind of equipment would be necessary if you wanted to paint some bike frames like really well. I know its a pretty vague question. I figured this would be a good place to ask.

Thought I would put this here too.
