Also got the Pretorius track back from the boys at Cole Coatings and couldn’t be happier. My eldest is coming of riding age so this is going to be a stupid fixie skidder that I can tool around on in the parks, bridle paths light woodland etc while he finds his skillz.
On the paint I ended-up letting the guys do their thing, with some overarching themes of things my son loves (mostly aeroplanes, the countryside, our dog etc).
The result is hilarious and puts a massive grin on my face (and my son lost his shit when he saw it!). Not going to be to everyone’s taste, but couldn’t be better for a silly tark beik to mess around on with my kids. They went for a cartoony / child’s view but the skill and techniques are incredible. The number of different paints on the fork are amazing - glitter in the sun, shading on the clouds, fades on the sky. They even traced a picture of our dog running across the hills!
@privatepatterson is a super nice and knowledgable guy and would recommend these guys to anyone.
Will get someone to take some decent pics once it is built up.
