The little fella starts school this summer :o so the misses suggested we "mark" his pushbike as he'll be riding it to school. I was just going to paint his name on it discreetly with my pinstriping brush, but when i got to it, tired looking wasn't the word - so 1/2 hour later it looked like this - stripped down to the bone :D

a quick basecoat black, then whipped out the airbrush

That is really great. How much would you want to do a three year old's bike?

Cheers

It will be even closer as his Birthday is in January. If you offer two for one I will probably have a zimmer frame by then.

he's a happy chappy then. My old man would have got the lid off the paint tin for me, maybe.

Truth be said the poor old sod was out of the house by 0500 to walk 2 miles to work as a bus conductor, first bus out at 0600 then home well after dark. Love ya dad RIP
