Paint update on my S

A little help from a friend

It was cool working on this with nvr2old. Here's a few in process photos from my shop.

I got two tanks with the bike when I bought it. The other one is pretty rough, but I used it as a guide to measure and lay out the stripes on the second one, also as a guide for positioning the Suzuki graphics.

Looks Cool, So is this another GS1000 tank you painted considering the one in the background?

Every since I finished my S model this past summer, I always wished I could've painted the tank graphics instead of using decals. I met a guy a few months ago who has the computer program and vinyl cutter in his home shop. He whipped out the stock-size Suzuki and Yoshimura graphics in vinyl to use as stencils and then he airbrushed the new ones on today. This way I was able to also use the same blue as the stripes. I'll re-clear it tomorrow. A fun weekend project
