works out cheaper to buy paint by the litre and use a spray gun which is what i'm doing now for the larger panels.

Is that a consumer based spray gun your using or a pro. I can do a pretty good job with rattle cans but I am sick of the expense and wastage. So I am trying to find some kind of consumer sprayer that does not require a compressor as such. Maybe something that is plug and play a bit like a Karcher washer.

it's a only a small touch up gun, iirc its was around £25 run with a small compressor which I usually use for my airbrushs. It's not ideal for the spray gun as its cfm is a bit too low hence the compressors pretty much running every 40 seconds or so trying to keep up with the gun. But as I don't do much spraying it doesn't warrant buying a larger one.Something like this however is perfect for spraying a bike or car panels....http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Compressor-24 ... 43bcae441a I used to have one of these years ago when I did more spraying and it was great!

Saw this on E Bay and thought it might interest you mate -

Looks alright that does be interesting to see if it sells. Kind of like the CBR nose cone as well. Least it will have decent head lights

Cheers Kev looks good! I do like the nose cone....dammit i'll be looking for one of those next

Now then guys I need your opinions, the Konica Minolta text is basically going to end up as kon inol if I put it where its supposed to go on the side panels due to the rad vents, soooo how about I run it along the leading edge of the panel??

seriously impressed mate - you must know what you're doing. What you do in 5 minutes would take me 5 days to even get off my butt and figure out how

never would have thought of that colour scheme
it looks great hurry up and get er finished

Very good. I thought of that paint scheme as a close second to the one I am planning.

That's typical as soon as someone is doing this paint scheme we will see them popping up all over the place. I like that nose as well. I wonder how they go it onto the side fairing. They must have cut and filled that to fit.

Here's an idea for the text. How about putting it where it is supposed to go but stencil the characters that don't fit onto the rad grill. You wont be able to read as well close up, but from a distance it would look as clear as day.
