 :jump  The paint work is complete inc. the lacquer.  I have refitted the kit this morning and took it outdoors to get a few pic's.  I am very critical of all my work & not really one for blowing my own trumpet but on this occasion I am going to.  I have been doing this stuff for many years but this one just blew me away when the clouds cleared & the sun lit up the paint work. The gold pearl in the black just jumped out, the silver just sparkled.  As for the fluro yellow/green...... I feel snow blind.

I made a few minor adjustmenst to the paint work before lacquer.  I faded black into the fluro on the seat unit, I extended the front number board as it was to small for the numbers I want.  I also added a little colour to the Raptor's eyes, then went in with the airbrush to shadow the head.















These are now officially the colours for Team Phoenix Racing and will soon replace the paint work I have done on this TZ250.

That looks bloody good mate and £350 for that sort of quality work would be a bargain!!

Isn't it funny how talent runs out before enthusiasm :-[

I got round to knocking up a couple of exhaust brackets in Carbon.



Next week, I have to change chain & sprockets, give it a full service then it's off to get the ECU remapped.  I am still debating whether to paint the wheels.
