Ratty to Minty/125 to 172 Update 14/05/10

Re: Ratty to Minty/125 to 172 Update 26/08

that sticker kit is fire pure sick :good:

 

Re: Ratty to Minty/125 to 172 Update 26/08

thats smart ^^ But not sure on a runner?

Depends where its put tbh, as placement makes a big difference, as does size

Runner is abit of a round shape compared to that bike!

 

Re: Ratty to Minty/125 to 172 Update 26/08

yeah that one looks like its for a cbr or at least a sports bike,
might be a little difficult to do it on a scoot but its cheaper then air brushing

 

Re: Ratty to Minty/125 to 172 Update 26/08

yeah its definatley about some sort of vinyls, airbrushing looks good but is time consuming and is hard to do yourself without the right stuff and paitience which i know you dont have james :mrgreen:

also ive heard some cheap vinyls turn weird when laquered over, the colour starts to run out of the vinyl? same with some stickers, thats if your going to laquer over them?

 

Re: Ratty to Minty/125 to 172 Update 26/08

ATM all i know is im Defo goin wiv White n Red, How im gonna do it, is another question :blush: , i got so many ideas goin through my head, i dunno where 2 start lol :banghead:

i dont fink im gonna go wiv viynls or Airbrushing, probs just gonna tape up and use sum kind of stecil's but of i wot i dunno.

Just 1 of my idea's i came up wiv, only early stages and a quick design 2 see how it cums out



U got the Heatbeat Line that side and on the oppersite side i plan 2 have a Flat line.

Will hopefully have afew more design done soon ready 2 show u all

 

Re: Ratty to Minty/125 to 172 Update 26/08

Good to see ya going at it, maybe I should think of a design for ya but please don't do the norm of inners vs painted, done to death

:mod:

 

Re: Ratty to Minty/125 to 172 Update 26/08

that's pretty nice James, slight ambulance theme going on there tho

 

Re: Ratty to Minty/125 to 172 Update 26/08

does look better than how you explained it to me before, liking it :cheers: but if you paint the inners and footboards theyre going to either crack and look crappy or wont come out very well. mine cracked quite quickily and looked shit. maybe try some of that plasticote? plastic paint from halfords, also wilkinsons do cheap ass plasticote paint i saw it in there the other day only a few quid a can compared to halfords at 4 quid somthing a tin of car stuff.

definatley looking good mate, not so sure on using stencils though? could come out weird. you should be able to get some vinyls made up pretty cheaply id expect or buy a vinyl sheet and cut your own its probably quite easy.

keep up the good work :good:

 

Re: Ratty to Minty/125 to 172 Update 26/08

Yeah that wud b Gd Jeff, I know u got sum gd idea lurking around in that head of urs lol. yeah i know wot u mean wiv the painted inners, gotta fink of sumthin new :banghead:

Haha, Fire i never looked at it like that, ill get sum flashing red light and a siren lol :grin:

Dom im sure if the inners a done well enough they shudnt crack lol, dunno how im gonna go about putting a design onto the panels, I dont want 2 lil but i dont wanna go over the top and make it look shit, needs the right balance

 

Re: Ratty to Minty/125 to 172 Update 26/08

Just a quick one, the japanese symbols mean 'runner'

 

Re: Ratty to Minty/125 to 172 Update 26/08

Thats ight Jeff, keep erm cummin, if we get afew up then i cud make a decision on a final design :grin:

 

Re: Ratty to Minty/125 to 172 Update 26/08

rising sun on the back pan looks very nice jeff,

what kind of stuff you in to besides scooter james, other hobby's etc, maybe a design based around that would work

 

Re: Ratty to Minty/125 to 172 Update 26/08

Yeah thats a gd idea Fire, Away from Scooters, my Main Hobbies Would b Football and Gaming tbh, nuthin else really lol.

This is a Workin Progress, Wud like more tribal patterns on the panels but we will see

 

Re: Ratty to Minty/125 to 172 Update 26/08

what team you support?

hmmm could do some thing game related you would have to like it the practical game a lot tho lol,

i like the 3 ideas you and jeff have put up so far, tribal a good look.

but think about it James you could have ufo crop circles on it and it would still look better and more original then most peoples bikes, so dont stress over it to much

if you know some one that does cheap air brushing, or know a shop that does viynls id go that route,

the last thing you want to do to a freshly sprayed white panel is fuck it up by trying to do a stencil your self .

but its up to you of cousre :good:

 

Re: Ratty to Minty/125 to 172 Update 26/08

Im a Man.United Fan Mate. Gonna need 2 fink long n hard bout wot im gonna do, at least i know wot colour i wan lol.

I really like the look of the tribal design but i think it needs more work and attention 2 deail wen it cums 2 the real fing

Picked up Parts from Connor This Eveing after He turned up an Hour late, Not 2 imprest wiv the Apparent MINT White Wheels that where abit dirty, Gave the a gd clean to find Scratches and Cips out of the paint, So im gona get them powdercoated along wiv Brake Levers, Brake Calipers and PM Braket, i fink the best fing woz the decent tyres on them lol

 

Re: Ratty to Minty/125 to 172 Update 26/08

:blush: just remember that tribal cbr is a stock colour in the states it aint a kit :blush:

soz, but you can get kits, they are mainly for cars tho but im sure there are bike ones to :write:
