Re: Bratz Eliminator 20"

I'm afraid with that much checkerboard it might start to look like a taxi bike.

Exactly. The checkerboard on the seat tube was to resemble a checkered flag. Now I am moving into taxi cab area:

That fender is headed back to the bead blaster. Less is more.

I kind of got that as well, but before you completely get rid of it, throw red striping on it, and give us a show of what it looks like....
" Crazy Taxi Bike " I like it...

Re: Bratz Eliminator 20"

If I had painted that fender there is NO WAY I could blast it. It looks awesome! What clear are you using? (sorry if I missed it...)

Re: Bratz Eliminator 20"

What clear are you using?

The clear and all the other paint is Rustoleum.

Thank you very much, Rg

Nice paint job, I've had nothing but bad luck with Rustoleum Clear.

Re: >>>Bratz Eliminator 20"

I seriously assumed you had a paint booth at work that you used...

Re: >>>Bratz Eliminator 20"

Truly a terrific job! Straight out of the can on the paint? No special tips? Regardless, awesome work! I hope to be able to just make mine look good from say....20 ft! :mrgreen:

Actually, it's Terry. I only call myself Bill when I am talking to myself. Of course, that seems to be happening more and more lately...

Anyway: :shock:

I know your real name and I read the entire post, but I didn't want to reveal too much, that might make me a punk. :shock:

 

[yoothgeye]

Re: >>>Bratz Eliminator 20": bad picture update

Haha, now I think the fender would look better all black! :wink:

Looking good, but I might make a little effort to fix the curvature of that fender, but hard to tell until it's on the ground off of that awesome Park Tool bike stand.







*Yes, Park Tools ROCK!

Re: >>>Bratz Eliminator 20"

That is one cool paint job!
Can't wait to see what is next for the fenders.
Keep up the great work! :mrgreen:

Re: >>>Bratz Eliminator 20"

I've done checkerboard masking on another build (somewhere on this forum) on a rear fender. You did a great job, its really hard doing it on a curved piece! I had bad blead over on the squares I had to peal and reposition.

Re: >Bratz Eliminator 20" fender paint round 2, pg 12

As much as I loved the checks, I like the black stripe better.
Sweet job with your paint.
