    before i start the unenviable task of vectorising these graqphics, would anyone have the set already drawn and scaled correctly ? i’ll buy it if i have too ! bikes are such a pain unless you can trace it physically and then digitise,

    or alink where i can buy genuine even ?

    anyways, here’s the pic, told him to paint the tank ! want the red n blue decals.

    Yup, I know what you mean about tracing & digitizing bike fairings & tank decals. Flippin’ nightmare! I wish I still had the photos of the sequence 🙁 of the one I did a few years ago – just let loose with a new black bodykit & a web image to match. Lots of application tape wrapping & hand marking lines to fold it all back out into a flat cut file. Over a days work – but enjoyable.

    Wouldn’t bother a total pain in the butt and you are never going to recover your time spent on it cause they expect it fot pennies.
    better get the heavy duty headace tablets ordered befor you start.
    I would have to be done with wrap vinyl too and will never be “right”

    I did most of this in vinyl 3 years ago
    Most bikers will pay for a good job, original stuff is very expensive. as long as you tell the customer before you start how much it will cost it shoudnt be a problem, but beware, bikes are fiddly, and time consuming, I have a mate who laquers over the finished job, makes it look loads better

    i have a pal who does airbrush work on bikes, we’ve started working together with stuff so he can airbrush vinyl, and also paint masks for him, he sends me referalls too, hence this job,
