after selling my federal t-nez I decided to get another bmx and picked up a rather neglected hoffman pro instrument off ebay for £22. full crmo frame forks and bars, cane creek headset so all good

it was looking a bit sorry but is structurally sound, needed a bit of a clean up and some tlc - 2 weeks later and this is where I'm up to

masked up the wheel and sprayed the front rim, the got down to rally checks on the top tube - theres a how to for this on the american ride bmx website - quite pleased with it for a first go - not sure if it shows up well enough but its blue and white checks over the black
-
was also thinking of spraying some of the blue as a fade from the rear dropouts and part way up the stays, similar to DJs black and gold on his unknown, but would this be too much? ???
-
looks ok dg when you going to ride it then
-
Why didn't you respray the whole bike then do the cheques would have looked much better.
-
tbh can't be ar*ed to respray the whole frame, just did that for something differnent and to cover some scratching on the tt. its only for chucking around the skatepark after all, not a show bike
