Rossi in faith - FIAT YAMAHA YZR-M1 2009

[joeyko2000]

Hi brothers,
I was so busy around the clock for months and I have made very slow progress until very recent.
I have the progress up on my blog http://joey-ko.blogspot.com/search/l...ZR%20M1%202009 and here are some pics for the update.

The bike is now about 80% completed and hopefully I can finish it within the week so I can take it for this year's local contest.

Take a look at the tutorial on Top Studio's web site, http://www.topstudiohobby.com/ go to Tips then Exhaust Pipe Painting. It is a nice tutorial on painting exhaust systems. I used Alclad clear colors instead of Tamiya.

Thanks!
I did use the chain set from Top studio. The transkit doesn't include the chain set so it was bought seperately.

Actually as Froride1 just quoted, I was using similar way to get the weather done.
What i did was to first, apply a gloss black as base color for the silver. In this case, I was using Gunze GX-serise.
Then with the SM06 silver. I was very conservative with the SM07 by now as it is out of production already....>.<
Then I masked some strips over the corners of the exhaust and randomly sprayed some Gunze clear blue and clear red over the masks.
I also added a thinner Gunze #157 (super black) to emphaze the shadows and effects.
a few more masking, sometimes even overlapping the areas already masked, a rough shading of different color started to appear.
Finally, I randomly hand-painted some Tamiya enamal clear blue, clear red and smoke on the pipe. And this make the weathering more natural.
At a final touch, I sprayed little silvery very lightly over the entire pipe to give some highlights and de-tuned the deep and overlapped clear colors.

That is about all I have done on the pipe.
Hope this will work for you as well.

Some more painful wiring works.......>.<







I really hope to complete this by this week.... but it is way to much to do with the details......sign.....

I know about the top stidio site already and IS NOT the same paint job, otherwise I would have not asked.

Relax, I was trying to be helpful. Sorry if I didn't read your mind and realize you had seen the Top studio tutorial.

Based on Joey's response it seems the Top Studio tutorial is a good place to start. Maybe give it a try and see how things turn out.

Don't need to read my mind, just read my posting... I was asking how this marvelous work of paint job was done because is unique... anyway, tried the Top Studio many moons ago and is a good paint job but what I see in here is EXCELLENT! No need to reply to my post! Thanks!
