PIMPED - My lads pushbike

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

thats really nice. Lucky lad , will have to send u mine mate. Hope he liked the new paint job.

nice! That should stop it getting pinched! [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Just wait for him to tell his mates his dad done it and offer your services to them ;D

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.

Goes well with the T-shirt

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
