Opinions on this colour spray Job

The photos create the impression of a "rough finish".  But you talk of various layers of paint, so I would like to believe the finished product would be a super smooth clear coat ....  May well be an interesting creation by the time you are done.

 

 

I am not a big fan of the petina craze ... but every so often somebidy manages to get the balance right and the product is worth a second look.

 

 

For the hours you are putting in, hope you do get that special look at the end.

 

 

 

Certainly enough "mono-coloured" bikes with a decals around ....  good on you for trying something different

When you are finished building this bike, I hope you don't go and ride it in public, because you are clearly blind and will be a danger to yourself and others.

Only die-hard tinkerers get this part ....

 

every so often I tackle a project that defies traditional thinking.  And clearly often it is not a raging success, but every so often the results are good.  The "process" is what does it for me.

 

 

Did this a few years back :

To be honest - better quality images might give a better idea of the result. But i don't think it is for me. Then again, I used the concept of uglification as an anti theft option before   :blush:
