Yay for freehand airbrushing.
I want to say it’s so sweet, like, “there’s a skull… WITH A MOTHAFUCKING HELMET ON”, but it just doesn’t fly. :gotme:
I keep seeing a rub-on tattoo ☹

Well, you posted it up looking for criticism so I’ll just say it: It looks like shit.
When custom painting a bike you should really consider the lines of the bike, make it flow. That looks like you just slapped a sticker on it. Maybe it’s just the camera, but it looks like the fairing came out a different color than the tank and tail. It’s a shame to see a nice old Italian bike desecrated like that.
My $.02. 🙂

At least if the guy rides it like you say he rides he’ll be having it repainted again soon and can do it right.

Any “crazy motherfucker” can ride at 150mph on these bikes, but with untouched tire strips on the sides of this bike being 3/4" tall, I’m guessing he can’t corner all that well, which is what willybeen was implying… or so I assume.

both tires are brand new, while it was in for paint, he got new tires put on it and it was sitting on stands.

meh its not my bike so i dont care what u guys say, i was even kind of sketchy about it. i wanted to see what others thought. i did notice alot of little shit that was wrong on it too. like the underside of the side plastics theres a bright red pinstripe and it fades to black but he stopped when it came to the middle piece with the headlight. u cant see it in the pics but its def noticeable. and theres bubbles in some of the decals.

I like the skulls and art work, but not on that bike.
Any pics of the Ducati without ferrings?
