Not that good with a air brush but, i did buy a cheap one today to do the pinstripes.
I have used 1000 grit wet sand paper and scotch brite to scuff the tins. Spent hours taping them off and putting the lace on. About to spray silver hope it all goes well!

Got every thing sprayed silver. Was able to take the lace off 1 panel to see what it looked like. In a hr can remove the lace from the other tins.

Got the lace removed. Now I get a break. Tommorow I can tape off for the white pin stripes to be air brushed around the panels along with the name on the sides of the tank.

I bought me a cheap air brush gun and after several hours have gotten the tins taped off to spray the white pinstripes around the lace pattern.

Thanks Mate!
The last shoot of parts are all sanded and ready for the base. This is all the small stuff that goes with the bike. An easy shoot just make it the color but, there is so many angles to these they need room to get around and cover them.
