  1. hey

    i'm going to spray a stenciled design onto the slick of my bodyboard.

    but im not sure what spray paint to use.

    its a plastic surface. i have tried that crap plasticoat stuff from b&q and its appaulling.

    what do grafitti artists use? and where the hell do u get it.

    it has to be waterproof and really quite rebust, dont like using primer either.

    cheers

  2. hey all

    For my HND i have to prove i have done some work outside of my course.

    I have done all of the heatsink stuff but I'm in need of more.

    Anyone got any graphic design work needed or any photography doing? Not just related to bikes, although it could be.

    cheers

  4. the exeter players are still stupidly good don't forget. i played for a plymouth argyle youth side against an exeter team, including nigel mansells son and they whipped us, we were supposed to be the best in cornwall.many of them play now.

    these two games are the reason why the fa cup is the best football competition in the world, minor teams can beat the huge teams purely because of the occasion.

    they try alot harder and have nothing to lose, also man u are used to playing against other amazing sides where they are more organised so can put moves together, exeter are going nuts and closing down every ball not giving them any time and its alot scrappier than the prem so its a whole different situation for them.

    if exeter where in the prem they would get a dicking every game without a doubt.

  5. my first frame, originally white with old graphics this pics after i resprayed it and got new stickers

    sort of as it is now

    there is never going to be another picture here as thats it for me and bikes, obviously i'll still have a piddle about but no more buying. :P

  6. I use the polygon lasso tool

    jus takes a little while to go round the whole frame. colours are one of the easiest things to do on photoshop, making colours look believable without just changing the hue is hard.

    changing to black and white is a little bit harder than colours, even silvers quite easy.

    I dont tend to change the colour balance, I airbrush the frame or use this cool method:

    draw 3 lines(the one in the middle being lighter or darker)

    then as u have that bit selected with the lasso apply quite a large gaussian blur and it will look like tubing.

  7. It would be easier to 'shop the pic, if you get a direct side-on pic if you want them to change tires etc....its hard if it's squint cause they have to find a pic of a tire to put on top and its hard to find pics of tires at angles.......

    well said, it can be done though, pretty tricky stuff perpectives
  8. thanks a lot for the diagram, I needed to see the pics again.

    one thing though. spokes? did you drill a hole cut a short piece of a spoke and glued it into this hole?

    yeh, careful though, dont bother drilling into the pad body just the backing+don't hit it in too far or you'll start to push the pad away from the backing.
