Default Best paint job ever?

Been to the bike show at the NEC in the UK and have just seen one of the coolest paint jobs ever. Not really my taste as you know I am a matt black fan - but you have to admire the work that went into it - and all in metal flake!













No front brake but running two disks on the back wheel, with a clever splitter

Can't imagine the time it would have taken him/her to do that.

To get the different colors of flake in their respected areas!!!! Definitely a very time consuming paint job. Excellent Work!

Well it certainly would turn heads mine included and i like the the detail and effect but i think sometimes you can get to busy with the canvas , having said that Rick Fairless of Strokers covers every inch but he just seem's to carry it off ...... Also i definately don't think it works to put a chrome edge around the fender should have taken the color's to the end! .... and not feeling the painted cylinder head covers but that's me and not anybody else ...

That bike reminds me of starbucks coffee and india pale ale. There are those out there who think that stronger tasting means better tasting. Not my cup of tea.
