great. i am looking forward to some pics.

i recon it would look the nuts if done properly.

couldnt you pop into your local army surplus or recruitment office for info on decals, colours ect ect.

i also recon a few bullet holes would look good too (not in the fuel tank oviously)

There's a guy who used to ride past me on the bus every day who rides an matte olive drab SV, coloured and detailed like a vietnam-era jeep, with loads of white stencil work... I really, really like it. Personally I don't think I'd want a bike designed to be hard to see :) But then again, camo won't exactly blend in in an urban environment. The bike's covered in filth and scratches, and it makes it look even better. Clever stuff.

for masking purposes either airbrush or can you could do alot worse than use masking film

it comes on a roll and you cut out what you want then put it iver the area and paint et voila

it has a low adhesion rate and is ideal for airbrushing etc get a metre or so to a roll couple of quid

happy painting

nearly any arts and crafts shop.

or try masking fluid, you paint it on, and dries like a rubber, so all you do is paint over it and peel it off.

doesnt damage the paint underneath either.

And I still want the paint job.
