seriously though dan, they look the business. :daumenhoch:
i was thinking of getting a new school frame coated in the skyway two tone style.

I can't wait to get these built up now. I've got the green bits from Tefore#s yellow and green GT Performer and some red bits from Daz to go on the red one. Including corresponding alloy tuffs for each.

Top stuff, Dan. Very much appreciated. :daumenhoch:

I dropped my Trickstar into Dan's yesterday and saw a couple of the 2 tones being done. I'm more than happy Dan's doing my pink paint job! Can't wait to get it next week Dan! Jonathan.

cheers for taking the time dan :daumenhoch:
does the masking stay on in the oven dude? is it a special kind of tape?

joe masking stays on but if you dont peel it off early then when the paint gets hot
the masking tape leaves a mark on the paint,
trick is to peel the tape of before the paint gets soft in the oven :)

I keep coming back to look at these! :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
I'm going to enjoy building them up. :daumenhoch:

the maddest thing about painting these is the the green/white frame was the first and the masking
was done by guess work :idiot2: then copied the second one :coolsmiley:
