I'm playing with graphics ideas using the colors Red & Black for the Mercedes SSK build.

I figured the bike needed a new coat of paint anyway so I got $30 worth of rattle cans and went to town.



I went from this last Sunday morning,







To this by 5 O'clock that night.







It was looking good all Red & Black but I started drinking Rum & Coke and things kinda went crazy.



It was just coming out wrong on so many levels I stopped halfway through. It's not at all what was in my head.







Gotta sand it all off and start over. At least the new speedometer/ dashboard Mod is coming out nicely!

The white is paint. The idea was to paint the gold, mask off the gears and cogs, paint the white, take a couple gear masks off and add some flair like victorian accent masking, then paint it red/ black.



I was hoping for a few gears showing through and a couple white accents.



Way to many gears showing and way to much white. I wasn't liking the gear masks anyway. Been raining all weekend so didn't get to do much. Lit a fire and watched TV all day lol. I guess a day off is good every now and then.



Actually I'm a Bacardi Bat wing man myself, Admiral Nelsons Spiced if I'm broke, kinda liking the Trader Vic's Macadamia Nut Liquor with cream soda today
