Never done this kind of thing before but found it surprisingly easy it took about an hour or 2, the paint seems pretty scratch resistant, very pleased with the results. I'm going to practice flames etc when I get the time

Great job  :daumenhoch: I used to do a bit of airbrushing, those little compressors are great, I had to use little cans of compressed air when I started!

Lovin that big time, I have a backburnered plan for something custom in the paint department, you may have just inspired me to set about it

Just one small critisism though, Can you airbrush that seatpost away? it hurts my eyes  ;)
