This sporty had been fitted with brand new split tanks.
The owner wanted Gunmetal Grey Metallic paintwork.
	He had an old Uriah Heap album cover
	he wanted reproduced on the tanks.
	Nothing on the front guard
	and the bikes name 'Grimace',
	in gold leaf on the rear guard.
Devo added just a hint of purple
pearl to the clear to help warm
the base colour a tad
By adding this warmer colour
over the dark grey
the reds, oranges and yellows
of the artwork keep their tones
	It was a simple style we were after...
	and it worked great
	Painting the motor red was a nice touch
	(done by the owner)
All ready for the custom tank strip
(didn't get a pic of that sorry)
The last pic is of an airbrushed portrait
of Grimace's owner  (3'x2')
	We have done many portraits before
	but this one was airbrushed onto canvas,
	can't say I like the texture,
	it looses too much of the detail.
	Airbrushing looks way better on a smooth surface
	We matched the artwork from the bike
	when we painted the T-shirt.
