Painting Frames

By -

Have spent the last couple of weeks painting, mainly frames for both the motorised and non-motorised variety.

A friend of mine wanted his frame painted with a blend of green and white.  Ended up going with a sparkle hot rod green into a bright white.
It's a tad more interesting than spraying an all black motorcycle frame that's for sure.

The Plain Jane Hypermotard After reading an article in the lastest motorcycle trader about Ducati introducing a new 659 Monster to cater for the LAMS riders.   It got me thinking about what Duke I would own if I had a wad of cash burning a hole in my Jeans West trousers. Obviously the idea by the Ducati marketing teams was to give the LAMS rider an opportunity to own a ducati.  That and to drop in on the same market dominated by the 250 Ninja and the newly introduced CBR250.

Once we removed all of the plastic a neat looking frame begun to reveal itself.  We kept the stock tank and hand shaped the rear seat cowl, with an integrated LED taillight.  We sourced some leather from an old mercedes bendz that we used to cover the seat pan.
