any photo shop people out there??

My bike has to go back in for paint again. Lucky for me, the insurance is covering it again since the last painter did a bad finishing job.

I was wondering if someone can photoshop white numberplates with black borders on the tail and around the head light, similar to the ducati look.

and black numberplates on the tail and nose. To see the difference.

I do not have the photoshop skills to do that.

If you can assist me, thank you....

eric

Is that custom upper and lower front plastic? Where did you get that, I think that is the nicest looking setup I have ever seen. I am not sure the upper is custom, but it just looks extra nice

Ok tell me how it was imported from Italy and it cost 5,000$

Does anyone have a template, or could create one for the number plate in the first two pics? (Number plate is black in first and white in second pic?) i have to have one on my bike, but i don't think that I’m skilled enough with a razor blade to cut the vinyl to look good...



thanks

I'd make a paper template on the bike first - sticking it down with blue-tac and adjusting it to fit before cutting one out of vinyl using a craft knife - turn the template over and viola you have the other side

epleeds - To avoid any misunderstanding with the painters over the style and placement of the number boards, print out all the pics for reference inc, the duke pics where applicable - plus use a white chinagraph pencil to outline on the bike's plastics where you want the coloured panels painted.

I'm going to play with this tonight. Thought about using Glad Press n Seal to stick down to the bike, then trace it out, peel off and stick to some paper to cut for a template. Let you know tomorrow how it goes.

Glad press n seal worked great for making a template. Just pressed it down to the bike, used a felt tip permanent marker to draw the pattern, peeled it off and stuck it to some paper then cut it out.

It left behind a little glue residue, but a little wax will take it off.
