I've been dragging my feet on purchasing my kits for the Gunpla Group. Instead I decided to go ahead and get the old customs mojo flowing and do a quick repaint of an Aprilia RSV R 1000 in colors matching Kamen Rider Ouja.
After a quick disassemble, I chose what colors would go on what parts. After priming, I used some Decorart metallic purple crafts paint thinned down with my special mix of matte medium, flow-aid, and retarder and fired up the ole airbrush. I had tried brushing the mixture on a palette, but it left a swirl and the thickness was too inconsistent. The parts I wanted to paint black were considerably easier. A quick mask and a couple of layers of black and we were good to go. Unfortunately I was a little impatient and didn't wait until the front fender was fully dry when trying to reassemble the bike. I left some gnarly looking fingerprints in the paint. I decide to leave it out, since it isn't vital to the bike and helps differentiate it from the stock model I still had. After reassembly, it still lacked something. After a brief look at Ouja for inspiration, I decided to add some gold accents to the front fairing to help tie the two together. Thank you for looking. |

It was actually all of your posts about wanting to do up a bike that inspired me to get up off of my duff and at least get one of them done. Last edited by blastmonkey; 07-20-2013 at 06:07 PM.. |
