low budget/ no budget

While making some minor changes on the bike I thought it was fun to give my axed tank a little make over. With some leftover rattlecans, masking tape and almost no time I made this..

Wat do you need;

1- gastank

2-paint

3-masking tape

I wanted to start with a gold base, but unfortunately the can was almost empty already.

The pic doesn't show how bad it looks. But it's just a base for the striping tape so.... never mind. It's meant as a joke anyway!

With the base on it you can go berserk with the masking tape.

No clue what I was doing!

I also mask the inside from the banners.

Then I use the red I once used for a rear wheel. After removing the white tape this is the result.

Mmmmm, not so bad. The blue tape is stil on, masking the gold.

Then I mask the red.

Now things are going to fast.

I spray the banners blue and do some shadow with the airbrush.

Clearcoat on it and before I have time to make a picture I've got to go to a party.

No time to dry the paint or do a test ride with my "new" KH fork.

But the result isn't that bad at all.

More later!!
