Re: The dream has become reality! Got my bike painted all black and silver... (PushHands)
Thanks for all the compliments
Unfortunately she's going back to the painter because I decided I wasn't completely satisfied with the job. He improvised a bit with the wing. I love my '03 wing! It's the best one!
The painter is very cool about it and will fix it no problem. I'll post up
real pics when I get her back. I'm going to ride it as-is for the next couple of weeks because the painter is busy and also I'll be riding to the motoGP races. I should have it the way I want it in about 3-4 weeks.
The issue:
This was the mock-up I sent him:

This is what I expected (minus stickers) and also what I got:

This is what my friends keep comparing it too, and I have to agree, it's pretty damn close:

The quality/finish is top-notch. I know that he bumped me ahead of some other jobs and even got it done earlier than I had originally hoped. He's a good guy and will make her perfect again! I explained it like this: You know when you meet a girl and she has really long hair and you fall in
? Then some time goes by and she chops her hair short, to like, shoulder length? Well, you still love her, but you don't get that tingly feeling like you used too.
So, I
my wing, and will be getting "hair extensions" for my girl
