What would be better from a can or a airbrush kit?
 
I have plans for my SV and they involve some spraying. Just a simple military design... a mix of this:

And designs taken from my helmet.

Not sure if to go with blue's and white or grays and white.

So will I be looking at just a base coat and some masking with the second, thinking of stencils to give it that 'rushed' look to give it the patern. Or should I start playing with a airbrushing kit to get the design right?
Whats your experieces of using these things?

Lots of font stencils will be used..
Like:
'Intake' and 'Pilot Daniel "Grinch" Martin' at the front
Plus
'Danger exhaust' or 'Hot Gasses'

When I was a kid... my Dad used to play with my toys more than I did.

Perhaps you're taking the concept to the next level!

:lol:

This is a joke right :D ?

You can’t seriously be thinking of camouflaging the SV. :shock:

Yes, leave that to the 4x4 idiots :D

Did you see the 'stealth' bike Amercan Chopper did? I normally think mock-military stuff looks a bit tacky, but that was really good.

I am very much so.. I want something different and I don't really like the race rep stuff apart from the Rizzla one and thats been done. I did think about purple, but thats been done 2. So on to something different.

I'm 99% sure I have seen this done on an SV before??? One of our American buddies I think. Should look good if done right.

Not camouflaged, but 'Jet Fightered' up I am certain of it.

Basically the American Chopper guys did a bike based on the comanche stealth helicopter. Fuel tank looked like the nose of it, the colourscheme looked like stealth paint,etc.

Be warned though, drab (particularly olive) colours are the most dangerous on a helmet (worse than black), according to an american bike safety report.
