sharpie mod on my GSX-R

nevin · 08-27-2010, 10:13 PM

I started a thread on this a while ago but it's a lot closer to being done. I want to change the design on the front, do some touch ups, and find someone to clear coat it. It comes off if it's scratched. So im assuming trying to clean any bugs off will take the design off too.

The guy who worked with me and drew the design is the owner of Tough Luck Tattoo in Lewes Delaware, Chris Dillworth. He's a great artist and had no prior experience doing anything like this before. He used an acrylic paint pen, so not official an sharpie mod. A friend of mine took it out the other day and snapped some pics. After all this work and waiting months to get it finished I'm still working 80hrs a week so have zero time to ride. I might sell it.

Anyway, tell me what you think. Good or bad no problem cause i love it!

You did that with a sharpy? Seriously? That looks amazing. I hear that a can of 3900(whatev that is) takes it right off. Any truth?

Wow looks great I have only seen this on one other ride... Lambo of Miami has a Gallardo just like it...

Very nice man!

Did you do the work all on your own?

nevin · 08-28-2010, 11:08 AM

I didn't do any of the work. My tattoo artist did all of it by hand. It took him about 4 months.

I got the idea from that miami lambo. The only thing i don't like about the bike is a few designs he copied from the lambo but by the time he actually started drawing he didn't realize he did that. I want to get him to change a few things before it gets cleared.

jayely1 · 08-28-2010, 02:35 PM

EDM92 · 08-28-2010, 10:11 PM

Sweet Jesus man, that is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. I would clear coat that right away before it starts to come off. Don't sell it because it's just too damn beautiful.
