That's really. I rly done,

That's really nicely done. The first effort was hampered by fat fingers on my phone.

S-works is sweet here was my latest. Tried something different with hydrographics.
Really happy how this came out.

I'm not a fan of hydro graphics myself, the bike looks good. The linkage is definetly weird....

That image wasn't the best in my experience with hydrographics. Had pretty poor conformity. Had much better jobs on rifle but stocks with other graphics. Overall I'm pleased. Thanks.

Anyone any good at identifying text fonts? I'm about to paint my 2015 Enduro and I'd like to get some vinyl decals made up to use as masks, anyone know what the font is for the top tube "Enduro" text?

Cheers.

my recent work.
First fade paint job...kinda f*cked up by taping off first colour so there s a line but overall happy.


I'm not usually a fan of yellow or pink, but I actually really like that. I like the orange as well.


I have an old no majesty with the clear coat fade. So I'm kinda biased on colour fades , but nice colours

thanks. The orange was kind of unintentional, as they're fluorescent paints, so there's a bit of transparency to them(hence the orange)...but yea the orange happened when I sprayed over the yellow with the pink. I kinda like how it adds to it.

Did you use like construction marker paint?

That stuff fades bad, the pink turns salmon after a few days, if you did use the marker paint I think if you clear coated it you might have a chance of it not fading.

I used just regular fluoro paint, not marker paint. Marker paint comes with a different style nozzle to spray straight up/down.

I've got 2 coats of clear on it now. Might do a 3rd tomorrow.

Good to hear, I had a gf who painted things on her cAr with the construction paint. It was neon pink to salmon In less than a week.
