Hi
Stuc.
If you find out about the effects, please let me know [-o< ...I'd like some of the snakey bits!

Oh, yes...a Bongo Woody....I've ALWAYS loved the wood-sided American Ranch Wagons!!!!!
Cheers

Eventually finished, probably not that exciting but I'm pleased with the results.
Black rims with chrome painted spokes. A lot of masking but love the look of them on my van.

a mate of mine is a steel fabricator, he is making the heated water tanks that are needed to float the vinyl on to the item you wish to wrap/cover. his brother is doing wheels fully prepared and any graphic for £100 per wheel.

im having a motorcycle fuel tank and some side panels done in something interesting.

Pop some pictures up when its done, I'd love to see it. I'm into my bikes too, have done quite a few race replica jobs in my time.
My CBR is in HM Plant colours and the wifes 1998 CBR250r is a Dajiro Kato Telifonica movistar rep.

£100 a wheel sound steep though, even so it would look good. 8)

Rumbled :oops: I always liked those wheels but I thought they were silver rims and black spokes, never mind I am still happy with them. The way Ste masked them was better than my way though. Have you seen my latest pics in the pimp register?
