Hre are som pictures of my old XJ650 Maxim. I painted it matt black all over and put crosser bars on it. Then I covered it in a strange self-camouflaging army green paint, that seemed to get blotchier the damper it got. In these pictures you see the result of the various cans of Humbrol paint that I found in the sideboard, applied with a twig. I had further plans for it, but it died.
Stick them on the site if you want, it would be good to see them there. I think it's worth demonstrating what a bike looks like when it really has been painted with a stick!
