    RIZLA Race Replica

    Well, here is my latest off season build. It started life as a 100% stock GSXR1000, right down to the huge (Ugly)mud guard. It was layed down gently by previous owner, and had some minor rash. In need of some paint, and I knew just who to call...... "Les (cheekeebandito)". Told him what I wanted, and let him work his magic! I couldn't have been more happy with the final product! Other than paint, she received numerous other bolt on goodies (Thanks to Donald (toastman) at Platinum PowerSports for the great deals, and excellent customer service!)

    Here are a couple before pics....





    During.....



    And After......









    Thanks again Les, and Donald! Can't wait to get on, and enjoy!

    Cheesy!

    I cant tell if Les only painted the bike blue and you put the decals on, or were they painted on or is there a clearcoat over the decals during the painting process?

    most likely a decal set over a base colour, not 100% but I think that's what they did with Cheesy's old R1 aswell. You should throw some pics of that up too. I did my old Rothmans paint scheme painting the sponsors on and it was a freaking pain.

    Sorry for the late reply guys. To answer a few questions. Yes, they are all decals that I had Les apply over the base coat, and then clear coat with a pearl mixed in. Looks great in the sun!

    For a better description you are best to ask Les though, as I'm not much of a painter.
