cool stuff dan....

i love the magic trick of coating it red, then covering it in tape doing the rest of it and the middle turns to green...  :LolLolLolLol:

I can't wait to get these built up now. I've got the green bits from Tefore#s yellow and green GT Performer and some red bits from Daz to go on the red one. Including corresponding alloy tuffs for each.

 :4_17_5: :4_17_5:

Top stuff, Dan. Very much appreciated.  :daumenhoch:

Those looks gorgeous. Thanks Dan, you're a star!  :daumenhoch:

I'm definitely looking forward to building those up. I think I might have to put my hunt for a chrome T/A on hold for the moment!  :D

Thanks mate

I dropped my Trickstar into Dan's yesterday and saw a couple of the 2 tones being done. I'm more than happy Dan's doing my pink paint job! Can't wait to get it next week Dan! Jonathan.

joe  masking stays on but if you dont peel it off early then when the paint gets hot

the masking tape leaves a mark on the paint,

trick is to peel the tape of before the paint gets soft in the oven :)

the maddest thing about painting these is the the green/white frame was the first and the masking

was done by guess work :idiot2:  then copied the second one :coolsmiley:
