Stiff-up your brush: paint porn

I really really like this although I think I'd prefer it on a road bike with a bit more going on.

inspired by my favourite ever fade

Ah, I can't afford fancy paint right now. I'm just doing some slightly shonky red touch ups for now.

What paint do you use for that and do you just apply it with a paintbrush.

Would like to see more of the frame above with the dura ace headset

Now that is what I would call Porn

Beat me to it

:)

That frame inspired me to get this done:

thats does look pretty awesome.

How and where ?? thanks

I know vaz can do pearlescents/flip-flop colours.

Mario Vaz done it.. Looked much better IRL.

The coolest thing must be how the colours shift as you change you view point right?

Yep, I have some small brushes, I used humbrol model enamels.

Cure the paint by putting it in front of my nice warm fire, not too close as the decals could melt.

Do you think a hairdryer would be able to cure the paints?

Exactly like that, one minute you have a blue bike next minute it's purple :)..

Fuckin' A.

Do you think a hairdryer would be able to cure the paints?

I guess!

indeed

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?
