Respray 99% Complete
Right decided after a year and a half of owning thee bike it was time for a refresh. Was a little bored of the Grey on the S4 and the tank was leaking so got it welded. Perfect excuse. Got it done in spare time at work and then a really really late night. I wanted the theme of a black bike with white stripe going down it but off center. I decided on a Ford F150 Black with a hot rod white sparkle white stripe and ducati badge.
I ordered a rear seat cowl first, came in some ones rattle can special red Front Fairing Primed and heavily flatted Tank primed and 2 hours of flatting Rear Seat cowl dodgy paint gone and primed and flatt Tank Based in Black Front fairing based in black Seat cowl based and the 2 hours started of the very tedious line masking for the stripe and ducati lettering Seat cowl white stripe painted Front fairing white stripe painted Tank white stripe painted with ducati lettering painted as well |

Wow! Wish i could paint. What do you charge for a 3 panel paint job like that?
I want mine redoing in senna grey with white central stripe, white number boards on the seat cowl with silver edging, and white sides on the tank with silver edging and ducati corse logo each side of the tank. |

I have to say I was liking the matt until I saw the gloss look. Actually like both and looks a top job. Look forward to seeing on the bike. Well done

I love that deep red depth its sparkly isn't it?
It's lovely... What a talented chap I enjoy flattening and bringing up the depth again in paint . There's something do tactile about it. Id kill to spray ! |

Looks awesome, fella.
Are you going to powder coat the rims too to give it the whole black look or just keep as is?
