Shoot 1 is the tins:
Tank, battery box, head light, tail light, fender
These parts will get the flake treatment and also a silver lace with white for the name on the tank and some sort of striping.
The prep for this shoot will be just as labor intensive if not more because the tins make the bike. These got to be glass with many many many coats of clear and taping.
Shoot 2 is all the small parts like mounts spacers handlebars shifter handle brake rods linkage stuff like that all blue flake but so small and so many angles need room to get around them.
This shoot will be just make the parts in color.
There is not enough room in there to do it all at once so everything needed seperated in how and what level it needed done.
The paint guy here in Dayton who sells to all the big paint guys in town said he had never seen a frame or tubes flaked only tins. Warned me then said is was cool when I would not waver. You know I went in they kind of overlooked me and was apprehisive at first until I showed him pictures of my builds and bikes and I said I liked doing the things not many will not do. It will be what it is whatever it ends up being.
After the pictures they were throwing free supplies in cups, sticks, that kind of stuff going out their way hooking me up!
Got the frame out in the sun. Wish the pictures really showed how it looks but, I can see lots of flake and I am the one riding her!
Got the frame and forks out the booth now open to do the tins. bought 10$ set of new twin beds sheets to cover.
