my bike i just finished up

[mcboi]

hey guys here are a few pics of the finished product lemme know what ya think oh and by the way thx Frenchy for the info i tried it on my bike about the masking everything off. It made clean-up real quick but took forever to mask everything off. Not sure if ima do it again it was quicker just cleaning all the residue off than to mask everything but i appreciate the info <S>








just need to recut and buff the nose section you can see the waves in the reflection of our car

nice job...

Nice bike. 

What kind is it?

[SFRT - Frenchy]

I'm surprised u tried   I'm impressed. I use those big rolls of paper, or even fin painter plastic sheeting to cover the wide areas. You might be right, on a bullet bike it's quicker to clean rather than taping, on HDs and classics, with all those intricate engine fins & spoke wheels, maybe not. BTW, since we share "speed tips" : I use a leaf blower to dry the bikes once I cleaned them, works awsome

The bike looks good mate, what's the name of that blue?

[mcboi]

its a GM stock color its called "Bermuda Blue" it comes on the avalanches, denalis, ect.... its rather inexpensive around $40 a quart and it has some kind of pearl in it i forget what its called that makes it flip from green to blue to purple depending on the lighting

Yamaha R6 2005?

[SFRT - Frenchy]

Iridescent pearl?

That's not a Yamaha, it's a Kawi. Looks like one of the 6Rs from a couple of years back.

Tells u how much I know in bikes  ... only one I know is the Hayabusa & old CB750s

[mcboi]

yea its a 03 ZX6R but hopefully not for long  ive got my eyes set on a '08 ZX10R motor those things are extremely nasty w/ power and torque more than the haybusa and the ZX14 ive read reviews sayin it has 186-192 hp to the wheel and its about $2200

Excellent!! Painted a Honda Superhawk Candy Apple Red back in the day.

I'd love to own a bike one day if it wasn't for 2 things. A.) I'm only sitting at around 145 pounds(which seems a bit light to me to control one reliably, could be wrong there).

 B.) I'm pretty confident I'd wrap myself around a tree one one due largely to point A.

That thing is gorgeous though. Nice work!

thanks everyone for the positive comments believe it or not this is only the 4th bike ive painted ever!!! when i say bike i mean anything i have not painted any cars yet but that will come soon (my dad has a '68 Mustang he's had since he was 16 he is 47 now) i will restore my dad's car w/ him because he sacrificed that car for his family so i feel i need to help him get it going, now that us "kids" are gone 

anyway toof you'd be alright my girl weighs 125 and she wants to get a bike just like mine, but at least she is smart because she will not ride one w/o training when you ride its not usaually you that will kill yourself its the other ppl around just respect the machine and its power and you will be fine/ plus the feeling is like none other when your on it

that color would look nice on a 68 mustang IMO.  Not really into bikes, but Im sure I will be 1 day. Seen afew drag on speed channel. 1/4 mile 6-7 seconds I think dang. Nice job. My jeep is just a tad darker blue then that. I like a metallic silver color also. Don't know what its called. cool bike.
