Started learning to do custom painting

I thought people may be interested in my first attempts at custom painting a motorcycle tank. Oddly, I've never learned to ride one! I'll be attempting more of this type of work as it's what I'd like to do for a living. Probably not quite what you'd put on a Morris Minor, though!

Thank you, I've got more, smaller bits on the go to practice my airbrushing. I just need to get a decent electric DA sander and a polisher, with some interface pads. Luckily, my day job is delivering for a car parts firm, so I can pick up all the consumables and small equipment for staff discount rates. :)

I bet there is someone out there in the customising community who would want you to do their Morris Minor. I'd love to see it.

That wood effect camouflage is brilliant, the bike blends in so well that I can hardly see it. The tank is really nice too, I'm in awe of anyone who can produce work like that, excellent.

Yes, it is good; I'm pretty sure it's one of these:- :lol:

Very impressive work on the tank by the way...

Lol! No idea what the tank is, except that it's probably a cheap commercial part that doesn't fit anything properly! :lol: Perfect for making mistakes on!
