I've been busy painting!I decided I didn't like the burgundy base on Elwood, my Jensen 85, so I repainted him.
A bare metal strip, 2 coats of primer, 3 coats of Cyan blue, and 2 coats of clear gloss, all painted "wet on wet."
I also decided to do something different with my Hero's turbine, instead of the satin black anodised finish.
The idea for this popped into my head the other day, so I thought I'd give it a try.
I'm very pleased with the end result!
This was another bare metal job, then 1 coat of etch primer, 2 coats of Burnt orange, then masking and drawing the design directly onto the masking tape.
After cutting the design out, 1 coat of satin black then 2 coats of clear gloss.
Ailesha loves the end result, which I kept secret from her!

Fantastic tiger paint scheme on the Hero engine...who would have thought of that!!!
The Jensen 85 also looks pretty impressive, much nicer than the original colors.

the electric blue is stunning, the tiger is a matter of taist but seems to go well with the turbine (nice quality work)
