New Custom Paint for my Raptor !

Post by Raptoress »

Decided to get my Rappie custom painted, it's not really a show bike, but I love to have something different from anyone else.

It's a style of bio-mechanical, with the raptor skin patches and eyes. The guy who did it was amazing, he was very thorough and we talked alot about what I expected. I think you'll agree, he did a brilliant job. :mrgreen:

It is amazing to see in the flesh ! ! :photo: :thumbsup:

Wow, that detail is immense!! Super excellent!
No mistaking whose bike it is when parked amongst the rest.

Well done, on a very unusual paint job! :nod: :toocool:

Nice one! Definitely don't think that it will get confused with anybody else's bike.

Wow that is incredible. It really alters the lines - especially of the mudguard.
You have to do something with the wheels now though. . . .

Certainly different... where did you get the idea from? I agree the wheels stand out, only because they are the original colour. I know that because my bike has the same. 8)

I looked at hundreds of airbrush pictures on the net, decided the mechanical theme suited this bike, but wanted to acknowledge the Raptor as well.

All credit to the artist, he spent hours with me, getting in my head, so he got the paint right.
