Title: SBD and Del do it again !
Post by: R Al on October 31, 2008, 01:31 PM
Picked up Torker 2 540 air off the bay a couple of months ago, was nearly all original and got it for a good price, however was in a pretty dire state with a nice coat of black spray over the pink/black and unfortunately the original bars were bent, which the seller forgot to mention  :2gunsfiring_v1:
Anyway decided to go for a custom look so SBD did the Candy Blue and Del made up some custom sliver fade decals, even managed to make up the 540 air from just some photos on BMX Museum and heres how its turned out.

The colour is amazing, the pics dont do it justice and the decals are spot on
You 2 guys are the backbone of restoration in the UK  :4_17_5:
Just gotta clean up the rest of the parts and got some new stuff to go on, just got a dilemma as I had in mind to build up with white/blue parts but having seen the paint job I'm leaning towards black/chrome what do you think ?

That looks great, the candy blue is very nice... Shame the pics dont show the silver faded effect very well. I think black and chrome on that would look  :coolsmiley:

Del,

Are you producing decals differently from when you did my Star BMX ones? Just wondering as these look like they are printed on a clear sheet?

I will need some more help soon on a Thruster decal, just trying to source a good enough pic of what I am after, ohh provided of course you can do colours on a chrome sheet??

cheers

Paul

I can do both, cut or printed (on clear, chrome foil any coloured vinyl) the choice is yours........
