Right Goose fans - I'm stuck !
Got this goose that is needing paint and decals - paint will be yellow - bit like below
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/tt183/ELEVENTEENBENDYCAT/odd%20pics/yellow.jpg)
So i need some decals for it that will be custom if i can't work out which it needs
D3000295 - April 83' the brake bridge has only one hole and i think that makes it a normal goose not super ?
I have seen some 83' gooses with the prism decals and the rest with clear background and two-tone colour letters
so what the hell is mine ? are the 83's wrong with prism's - can i use the prism on my 83' ?
can any one help that knows there Goose's ?
It would be a bit easier if the goose in question wasn't different to all the other gooose out there ? some one put a trick stand on it
if i can't work it out in the end it will be a custom decal like - clear back ground like 83' onwards lettering but prism inside the letters and in blue/silver - any one think that will work ?

Fookin LOL Si :LolLolLolLol:
Seen this puppy before though - old Bendy has had it a while now - keeps promising to restore it but I don't believe him :yahoo_silent:
Only messin' Bendy mate ;) :LolLolLolLol:
It's previously been discussed that it's a custom aftermarket jobby as far as the "bonus" tubes go but that doesn't take away it's mad cool factor ! :D
Right then on to your decal question.
For an '83 gusset goose you DO NOT want prism decals - prism decals are only for team/supers/full chromos etc. yours is not.
You need black background gold letter decals for an 83 like so.........

You will be doing it proud with that line up . I ( like my bro Spen69 ) would have rattle canned it whatever colour was left in the shed strapped some grifter bits to it and thrashed it round a track / bowl .
Good luck with it mate , keep us up to date .
P.S if you are buying decals from the U.S i think he charges the same rate for up to 9 sets shipped, so we normally put an add up to see if anyone else is needing decals . ( share the cost :daumenhoch: ) . Thinnking on i need a set of minigoose decals .

Yep, I need a set of '79 Supergoose decals in storage for when I decide to do my latest 'Goose properly as it's got some Grifter parts and rattle-canned forks (well it will have if Jonnygoose ever makes it up to the 'Goose loft to get them for me!)
Love the mutant by the way - gonna be awesome!

Soz Spen - dug some black ones out for you today mate ;)

DX' 9'1/6 - need to be re-anno'd in blue
DX are painted not ano'd mate ;)
Glass paint seems to be the way to go. I started a thread up about a year ago for some people to show their results with glass paint there's a couple of blue sets of DX done in there so worth a quick look:

Ok so i read the thread about glass paint - but was it pinned down as to which is the best and what type brush or spray
does the pedal need to be polished or just scrubbed up ? - would mirror polish look shite when the blue glass paint is on ? can the stuff be painted to any chrome / metal bits or just alloy
so if there the right decals - what was my goose called in the first place ? just a mongoose ? does any one have a standard pic ?
will post if i go for the decals 8)
bobafett - you let the cat out of the bag - now you gotta feed it ;D
cheers B ;)

bump help !

As far as the glass paint is concerned different people have used different products - maybe stick a separate thread up for that.
Your goose model would have been, well, a mongoose :LolLolLolLol:
It has an 83 serial number so here is an 83 mongoose with those style decals :
