Little inside joke here? Always Wear Protection when riding a Whore right?
I will not profess to being a expert at this but, a GOOD friend [Dusty] told and taught me how he did lettering. In fact have never held a air brush before this bike. Printed off my script.

Image

Cut it out with a exacto knife.

Image

Trimmed the paper down so it would conform to the helmet.

Image

Used hot soapy water and wet the helmet and paper templete.

Image

Stuck it to the helmet and added all the little pieces for the A's and O's.

Image

Taped the edges down.

Image

Built a box out of tape to keep the over spray in.

Image

Air brushed the color.

Image

Painted.

Image

Used and exacto knife to pull the little A and O pieces out. Then lightly scratched the places around the letters I wanted to clean up.

Image

Used scotch brite to take off any over spray off that may have got under paper.

Image

Done.

I got the lace patterns I wanted done. These will sit until tomorrow then be taped off for the white pinstripes. Laying out on a color change start with 1/8in fine tape.

Image

Paper over the script written so no chance of it pulling off with the tape.

Image

Then 1/4 in tape is used.

Image

Then 1/2 in tape.

Image

Then 2 in tape.

Image

The lace is cut to fit and taped on.

Image

Painted

Re: La Puttana ------Build------ Ride her hard, Sell her Che

Post by Customize IT »

There is a story behind the script on this helmet. I bought my bike out the back of a dark shed in a alley. CHEAP! She had several riders before me. When I took it home I fucked it over and I put money in it for rides.
I named the bike La Puttana which means The Whore and what good Whore is not covered in glitter and lace?
As a joke painted the Helmet to match the bike and wrote the script on there because if you are riding a Whore you need protection? Thought this was a good picture of it.

Image

Got all the parts out my booth.

Image
Image

Preparing the engine to install. The bike is too pretty now not to clean the engine and this will allow the paint to cure. Taped off the side covers

Image

Layed the lace out and spray painted.

Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

Used a dremel and a electric engraver.

Image

Engraved the out line on ingnition cover.

Image

Time lapes a few hrs and got the ingnition cover engraved.

If you could color between the lines as a kid and have a half way stead hand it is easy to engrave. You only need 2 power tools a electric engraver and a Rotary dremel. First prepped the areas just so my paint and tape would stick with scotch brite and sandpaper.

Image
Image

Put tape down to set my border for engraving.

Image

I am using the lace that was used in my paint design for the engraving but, you can hand draw the graphics out or spray paint thru a stencil like when air brushing.

Image

Lace removed and design on the part being engraved.

Image

Used a marker to mark the edge of the border tape both sides.

Image
Image

The first of the two tools you will need a electric engraver with a carbide bit. The bit will come with the engraver and will cost about 30$. A engraver with a stroke adjustment is best and to put it on the lowest stroke possible setting for the most control.

Image

Picture of the carbide tool for the engraver.

Image

Engrave the outline of the images you want. This will give you a easy way to see the design for the next step.

Image

The part that has been electric engraved along all the outlines.

Image

The second tool you will need is a electric rotary dremel. Buy one that fits your hand well. You can see I am holding this one like a pencil. Use you second hand to help stead while engraving. You can buy these for 30$.

Image

The bit for the electric rotary tool a 1/16th inch ball cutter. Part number for dremel is bit 106. This will cost you for a set of two 10$.

http://www.dremel.com/en-us/Tools/Pages ... aXisfmVR1s

Image

The tool spins the bit to the right when you are holding the dremel. It is best to let the tool do what it wants to do and with very slight pressure go from left to right along all the engraved out lines.

Image
Image

Now with the rotary dremel with the 1/16 ball cutter just grind the open spaces out on the design. Go back and forth in 1/4 inch to 3/8ths inch wide patterns until the total area needed is ground.

Image

I will put the border in last with out engraving the outer edge lines with the electric engraver. This allows you to open the design up if needed because of the tool slipping out of main pattern.

Image

Now with the electric engraver go over any edge lines you want to clean up and add the little lines in the design.

Image

Finished engraving. The guys who do this charge 50 dollars an hr and I have over 60 hrs in this engine. For the average person they could not afford that but, for under 100$ you can do it yourself.
