Well just picked up my frame from the powder caters this morning and its totally mint,, was a amazing frame to start with condition wise I mean and a big shout out to Vic for that chears mate 👍👍👍 Was red originally but red isnt my fav colour at all had bad experiences with anything red always lol, so fitting with the master plan it had to be white,,,, Was sand and soda blasted then zinc coated then powder coated and the pics don't do it justice,, no runs no dimples smooth and nice all for £96 well happy so if your in Cumbria area I can highly recommend the chap who did it four days turnaround, drop me a pm and ile tell you where,,, if reqd,,

Good man as soon as you show your scheme every bugger copies it. Well they did mine 😁 took me ages to design it then bam . I prefer wet paint on a frame but that’s a personal thing. Go with what makes you happy I say 👍

Exactly veg mate don't want it ripped of before I get it painted,,, well I could of painted it with 2k at work in the booth but to be honest I just thought the powder coating would be more resistant to chips ect when it's on the road the only reason I powdered her,, but will be the only thing that is everything else will be painted and baked in the oven at work when needed

Thanks very much I don’t mind a few people have been kind enough to ask if they can copy it. It was just a surprise esp when someone tried to blag they’d not copied it directly and mark cordwell had designed it. It’s a compliment but good manners I think, I love some schemes on here eg dustys Orange Norbo’s Steve baker I’d just ping an email to them. I know I sound like a moaning old t**t ( that’s the truth 😁).

No mate I agree seen a few of your builds and stunning mate I hope I can only get near as don't think I'd ever top them, and the time and effort it takes to think and put into place makes your bike unique your personally stamp so to speak and when someone copy's it it can be taken two ways,, 1,, they like it so much they just have to have it which is a compliment to your design,, and 2,, there just cheeky b*****ds lol I'd vote for the first one,, but agree its a bit Diss heartening when someone steals your design when at the time it's the only one like it,,, years and years ago I saw a lc painted green 7up colours and thought that's different from the Pepsi rgvs around it was nice,, then a month later I saw half a dozen around... So yep it's a secret lol 👍👍

Totally understand. You spend time planning a one off paint job, then everyone copies and it's not one off any more. Yours to me is absolutely my favourite colour scheme so I can see why it is copied. Agree with asking to copy, but at same time, only people who know you or your build would bother.

I read so much on here that it's nice to go back and read from the start over time to catch-up with how the build has updated along the way.

No it's cool veg no worrys mate,,well I've taken loads of pics flames mate so when it progresses a bit I will start a build thread probs,, but still bit early days yet and like yourself I read loads on here it's a wealth of info and knowledge from you guys who've been there done it or tried it,, so it's helping me in the direction I'm going and wots good is if I get stuck on something I just have to ask and the answers are there or someone can always help, which is why I enjoy the place, 👍

Erm if you mean the carbon akai paint job that hadn’t been done before that used the carbon as the black and was as original as a paint job could be that would be the one. Rip off or interpretation of a classic paint job done as a homage to Barry?

So who is ripping off who? ( I am beer induced confused ) but this is not exactly something new that you dreamed up at art school ,to put it politely it was inspired by another original colour scheme before you invented it.

Ripping off? Who has said that? Is mine a direct copy of any scheme? I designed a paint scheme that I was particularly happy and proud of. It was a homage of another of scheme. I didn’t claim anything other than I designed a scheme that I liked that others liked but what annoyed me wasn’t people copying it, it was people claiming they had designed it. So what is exactly your point? I’ve admitted it’s a homage as the whole bike to the 7up bike. It’s what I would have built in the day had the money. When I copied the clocks I spoke to Dave and Dave if it was ok? Crediting those who have gone before is good manners. So I’ll ask again what point are you making?

I personally think knock off is a bit harsh. If it didn't have akai on the Belly pan, I wouldn't associate it with that paint scheme. I think the changes in colour and the carbon fibre that has been incorporated into it shows style and has been well thought out. I think the scheme 'jumps out' and would class it as one off even with the speed block design.

Like I say I’m chilled, I’m still struggling though to see who has done it before? You made a point of saying it’s a rip off , of what? I’d also be really interested to see who or what I’ve copied before? I’m not trying to be argumentative I’m just slightly confused. Please show me what I’ve ripped off? If you can show me an example I’ll demure and apologise. 👍

Wow I wasn’t trying to be funny but you were the one who ‘challenged’ me. You stated that I’d ripped others of which wasn’t what I said. I wasn’t attempting to take the moral high ground. Mate this is a free a fun forum I don’t get why you would attempt to belittle me? I try not to do that. All I said was I was sad that others claimed a paint job as there own and tried to warn the OP about doing it. That’s all. Take it easy been there had a few beers. I’m cool. 👍
