AIRBRUSHING Flames on an Elec bike in 6 minutes

[graucho]

I was teaching my grandson how to paint flames on a bike we built together.
Introducing todays youth to a world of custom bicycle design and garage logic.
The first link is the painting…. the second link is him out on a ride on it. Plus a few extra shots.
He normally rides with a helmet but he asked if he could ride without it for the vid.

That's freaking awesome!
I saw the first pic and though 'this guy think he's Graucho or something?'...oh it is Graucho

That bike looks gorgeous too (besides flames)

Super sick!! I love the frame routed lines!

EDIT: Didn't know that was your grandson. He must think he has the coolest grandfather ever.

Holy moly, is that great or what?!

Airbrushing looks pretty easy... when done by someone who knows what they are doing.
I've worked with couple graphic artists who made it seem like a piece of cake.
I'd love to give it a try. Guess you can always do it over by re-shooting that black base coat and taking it from the top?

Listen though, one thing.
Your grandson is going to be waaaaaaay out there on the local cool scale with that ride.
Every guy in his school is going to be pissed off that it isn't theirs.
And if he gets a pair of sunglasses, the girls are going to be swarming him.
(May be the only documentable case of ebike as chick magnet in the history of world?)
