Title: A slightly different slant on the factory chrome aero pro burner
Post by: djgivvinup on September 27, 2008, 07:48 PM
Another bmx i wanted to own, finally restored..my own twist on the 1984 factory chrome aero pro burner, im really chuffed with her, will maybe change the pedals for some black custom m's if i can find some, but thats it  :smitten:  :smitten:

99% of the the bmx bought or traded from rad members, you know how you are  :coolsmiley:  :daumenhoch:

..thought i'd post a couple of piccies up in here before putting her in the museum

That's proper nice that is, good work. I like the pedals as they are personally, kind of blends in with the decals.  :daumenhoch:

I know the decals are pretty poor, & they weren't cheap either  :shocked:
the original ones that were on the frame were a totally different colour, like you said a copper/bronze colour, but they were knackered, full of scratches, rips & holes..if they were even half decent i wouldn't have applied these crappy repro's..tis a shame no one has made the effort to repro these decals properly, although i find the same is true for a lot of the repro stickers available....Dels are by far the best i have used  :daumenhoch:

Anyhoo..Cheers for all the comments guys, much appreciated  :daumenhoch:  8)

No not exactly, they are virtually identical, but the ones i need have custom m written along the centre..

Cheers for the heads up tho   ;)

It took a little while but im really happy with the result, the chrome came up pretty well, i managed to get all the rust patches off then gave it a polish  :smitten:
