Just got a sneak preview of the tank from my Tiger repaining so thought I'd stick it on here for comments. There are a lot more cosmetic and other mods and as soon as I've put everything back together, you lot will be the first to see, besides me of course !!

Still needs whiskers, some more work on the claws and loads of laquer but its not far off. I know its all a matter of taste, but I like it !!

Look forward to seeing the pics soon.

Each his/her own... :wink:



While the graphics are nice, they are too much for my taste on a tiger... Please don't tell me you will put chrome on there also??  :twisted:



But I am curious too see the finished product!



Cheers,

How much did the paint job cost? It looks like alot of hours went into it. I'm not crazy about my black tiger and wouldn't mind a new paintjob.

I know each to their own eh, but I like it mainly becasue its so different, the background paint is a 3D effect which hasn't been used in the UK before so the suppliers also want to see the finished bike, which I'm hoping will be ready by next weekend.



I would definatley recommend AIR DEVILS for doing this, the detail in the Tiger is amazing when you see it close up.



My Blackbird is also on their web site http://www.airdevils.co.uk

and the standard of work from Fiona and Mark are 1st Class. The Tiger bits ended up with 16 layers of laquer on !!



Total cost was around £800 for all the parts, mainly becasue of the new paint that hadn't been tried before.



Hoping the photos will be on here pretty damn soon !





p.s. there is NO CHROME !!!  :lol:
