sticking point with DB make over.......
« on: May 19, 2011, 03:50 PM »
Had my black DB Pro for a long long time as my rider dressed up in a HLT theme, and decided to give it a little make over. This is my first attempt at spraying a frame set and I can't believe how much paint gets wasted  ??? I opted for British racing green and then to add my own touch used some gold metal flake in the lacquer, not that you can tell from the pic, some new decals and polished 7x's will almost finish it off, Gave all the other parts a light polish but the big question is...What colour grips and seat should I sling on it ? green is the obvious but im not sure  :-\

before

Maybe black and gold? Or black/red.
Something else then usual black/chrome db's...
Not so diamond back minded
but I must admit it looks good in the first pic!
