That does look very cool! How did you do the "BUELL" and "Pegasus"?

That really sets off the color of the frame and wheels. It looks REALLY GOOD!

Yes very very nice. Like the subtle yet strong pegasus, very true to the brand literally & figuratively.

Sweet. Nice clean work.

Would your friend be able to do a negative or two of the new shield logo? Interested if they are....

Looks great! Well done! The paint sure looks a lot more finished than raw plastic.

I'm thinking about a dark graphite metallic.

What this a DIY or did someone shoot it for you? Cost?

Looks great! What would be the cost to have your friend make those graphics up in vinyl so they could just be applied?

Hey guys how about this one? honest opinions please. Used tac paper, drew the flames, then airbrushed the outline. Everyone that I talked to seems to hate the pods. So decided to do something with them.

I would love to see what others have done with their paint. The creativity of Buellers should be seen. I know they are molded in color, but with the right paint, and adhesion mix, the paint sticks very well. From the factory, they seem very plain. Function over form?
