Stunning simply stunning

Genius.......
Sadly I've been able to post up photos of one of the best paint jobs I've done. The owner hasn't finished building the bike yet and he wants to be the person to unveil it.
I completely understand but Im itching to put the photos up on here as it's an airhead!

The RD paint scheme is very beautiful and has got me reminiscing of my early biking days.

I just love looking at your pictures ! it must have took many hours to be that good !
Here's a pic of the same RD350LC tank out in the sunshine. When the bike is put together I'm going up to photograph it, I'll pop a couple up on here ....

I've been looking forward to posting up these pics!
I was approached by a fellow forum member last year to paint his Cafe racer project that he was in the process of building. He asked me to keep the photos to myself until he'd finished building the bike. I got a PM from him earlier giving me the go ahead. I think his build thread is being written as we speak!
He wanted a subtle but custom paint job, he brought the parts down and I went through colours etc.
The party trick with this one is that I was asked to do the BMW roundels in paint. I suggested that we substitute the original silver parts of the badge with gold to compliment the rest of the paint job and also to add a bespoke feel to it.
Here are the parts after being prepped and primed.

Then came the painstaking process of painting the badges ....

I've seen a few photos of the bike during the build but not one of the completed bike, I'm looking forward to it. From what I saw it's had some beautifully thought out details and gorgeous components lavished on it!
