Hi guys, has been a while since I post something so here it is , I call it Blackout500 project.
Basically I was a bit bored with the look of my bike, and I though I can give it a new look for 2016.
But as always budget was an issue, so this project was complete with less than Au$200 on materials, 3 six-packs of Guinness and around 3 days of work.
THE DESIGN
I first start with the design, I want a black racing strip along the middle of the bike, give in it a more Cafe racer look.
For this idea I had 2 alternatives:
1. Add a matte strip over the middle of the bike.
2. Matte vinyl all the bike and leave a shine strip over the middle of the bike.
Obviously I decide to do the second one, just because I’m an idiot.
But before I start I did some mock up on Photoshop to make sure I did like the look.
Here the pictures:
