Hi all,
If you have went past the anodised seat collar and went for a paint job, I hope your happy with it... Let me see if so people, I'm about to get my Trek fuel done in lime/Kawasaki green, and white.
Thanks in advance to everyone!
The opposite effect. Gloss black flames over matt black base.

Kawasaki green is always good
Wow Nick - that's excellent work! I only ever saw NS bikes do matt and gloss together but it was in no way as good as flames - just a fade. could you show me a close up of a tube?

You can just make some flames out from this angle. Needs to be seen in the flesh for full, subtle, effect.
That sure is a belter, thanks Nick.
More flames!

RAL 6018
Now finished with black carbon bars and a couple of green ano bits. I know black bits would be more tasteful but couldn't help myself!
Custom paint jobs you need to look on the Waterford bikes web page from the states mate! The pin striping alone is awesome all done by hand too!
Some great paint on the above and I really like the job on that race bike - the purple one... that blue matches perfecto on those forks too!
I like the idea of outlining the flames on the second bike, gives me an idea, ta!
Anyone else got stuff to show off... Keep them coming!
Cheers! 😉
This is my remedy 9 09 in matt black and green,I anodised all the nuts and bolts myself but they came out dull.

who did the remedy? £?
Did the paint job myself useing cans from a car shop.
Not sure of the cost as i changed colours have way through
mybe £120. including sandblasting which i don't recomend
as the frame is so thin.
looks great!

Cheaper than replacing the frame every season! The red job was airbrushed by a friend who used to paint helmets and the green was done by the folks at Orange 😀
The Remedy: That's almost exactly what I have in my head! Just swap the matt black for gloss white and bingo... I already have all the red anodized bits on the frame including everything by Hope - limited red M4's from Moonglu. That's a beautiful bike mate...
Thanks for sharing! 😉
I also love the sparkly off white, lovely!
ssboggy, did you get the job for free after they noised up the decals?
kiwijohn, i love what you did on the dmr
BUMP!
