Hey everyone, this is my first bike, i do custom airbrushing, had to get rid of the stock paint and make it bit more unique. Let me know what you think. Having a blast riding it!!

Can't honestly say I like it but it is certainly distinctive.  And I amire the talent necessary to achieve it.  

Looks good, would look even better if you got rid of that rear fender :guns:

Excellent work, think you should do something with those black wheels now!

Starting at the hubs, how about a fade from light to dark green?  Seriously!

Airbrush, impressive web site. Boy, somebody knows how to use flash.

thx for the responses,
Yup i plan on chopping down that rear fender up to the plate. I dont mind the look of the black rims actually, gives it more of an understated aggresssive look. Of course thats all subject to personal opinion.
Cheers,

ooooo thats pretty.  I wish I had those kind of skills; or any artistic ability at all.  Anyway, its good to see the first(?) customized GSF.  I completely agree with you, the wheels and frame need to stay black.  It just wouldn't look right otherwise.

Nice job airbrush. It almost looks fake. keep it up.

Sweet.  I like it.

Very nice indeed...maybe one of the first customized GS500F's on the site :dunno:

now that's a "f" you can be proud of!!!

haha   have u seen my painting skills

i hate myslef!



:guns:  

Now is that the new Aluzio fairing from Brazil? If not, what fairing is that?

Its an F, but I think the aluzio one looks better, If I was dropping 5K+ on a GS and it had to have a fairing it will be a 01+ with aluzio's on it. I like that a lot.
Cool.

Nice  What kind of paint do you use and how did you do the clear coat. Any masking tips.

looks good, i second painting the wheels, but it's up to you, but i love the top fairing, right around the headlight, good job

nice showcase for your talents.

Take the fender farther up than just the bottom of the plate, like this: http://pantablo500.tripod.com/pablosgs500page/id48.html


Now you just need a colored screen to complete the "look"; smoke, yellow?

The paint i used is a waterbased automotive product, a little trickier to use than conventional urethanes as drying times are alot slower. The base is a course metaliic silver with transparent candy orange over top, really shifts in the light. As far as masking goes, time time and more time...., used a combination of hand cut and computer cut stencils for the silver border edging the graphics. All finished off with a urethane clear coat. Eventually will probably tint the front screen smoke. Have also removed that rear fender up to the plate bracket.

Was the paint brand Createx Auto Air ?

yep, i use auto air almost exclusively, for the fact that there is no solvents involved.
