Default Yellow 400ex with black flames????

I'm in the process right now. I have 4 layers of black paint on my front fenders. I have custom flames on it. I masked off the whole front fender and cut flames out with a razor blade. I have to put another one or two coats of paint on then a few coats of clear coat. This paint im using is designed specifically for plastics. It is the best paint ever i swear. I can bend it and scratch it and it's just about in destructable. The only thing i've found that cut is a knife or screw driver. I did tests on my buddy's fenders that he cut off of his raptor. I'll post pics tomorrow when it's complete.

sounds like it'll be pretty nice, and most importantly, unique. Thats my whole objective with my 440ex that has silver plastic, N-style graphics/seat cover, suprtrapp silencer, black head pipes, acerbis hand guards, AC bumper, cuztom flames on the toolbox, custom black air scoops with "440EX" on them and not to mention the spikes on the front fenders, yes, it looks mean as hell. I'll have more up to date pictures of it on here shortly, as soon as it warms up enough for me to clean it up a little bit and make it look decent, ya know, scrape off all the ice and frozen mud.

I finished with 2 1/2 hours of tapeing and cutting out the flames and many layers of paint and clear coat. This is how they turn out. I have pics on my page. click on the camera. Tell me what you think. I was expecting them to come out better. I think they will look better moving, than standing still.
