Hi Everyone, ive had my speedmaster for about a year now and when i picked it up from the dealers last april i headed out to show my new pride and joy to an old schoolfriend of mine. After drooling over it the first thing he said is when are you going to let me do a spray job on it. i wasnt to keen at the time as it was new and shiney but over the winter i finally decided to let him at it. Here are the results.      The friend that done the spray job airbrushes guitars in his spare time, im pleased with the results and would be interested to hear what you guys think. Ive also added a few bits from brent, a battery cover from jonny biscuit and am waiting for a corbin to arrive.  Cheers Dave

He left off the most the important word.. "Speedmaster" Looks beautiful mate, especially like the side panel. Have a great weekend at the Celtics, look out for Oliver Reed's love child on his Nitro V MAX, Has some nice artwork on it, he was a full member of the club

Very nice - so nice that I have got to ask - How much does this guy charge, and how long does he take to do "simple" stuff?
The way my arm is going, I think it is gonna be a couple of weeks before I can ride so might as well put the down time to good use!

Thanks for the kind comments everyone. Bud, not sure about selling the seat yet. Martyn,will do mate and Shaun,It took a couple of months to do, i picked up another tank on ebay so there was no rush on it. The only thing i paid for was the clearcoat, he wouldnt take anything for the paintjob.. not sure if he fancies doing any more he said the guitars are a lot easier. Dave

Now that's a great paint job. The Union Jack on the side cover is my favourite!

Nice work. I have seen flames since my high school days (graduated 46 years ago) and have gotten kinda tired of them, but these are really nice. I also like the bulldog and made in England.

Very cool, definetly one of a kind. Beautiful paint.
A word to the wise is not necessary. It is the stupid ones who need the advice.

The flames on the tank were sprayed with a sort of translusant blue glitter paint, he just kept giving it coat after coat. The blue looks bright or dark depending on the light..
