   Well, my current bike is a 1987 GSXR750 slabside....

this is what she looked like when I bought her....

The paint was done by putting strips of tape on the white paint and brushing over I think - anyway it was awful!!
I was going to a rally the next day so I ended up painting her with a brush and she looked like this...

I've since stripped her and she now looks like this...

not much of an improvement but to be fair I have stripped and rebuilt the brakes and painted the exhaust and some other stuff while she's been like this.
I've also started accumulating parts and have started on the bodywork, all being painted by hand I might add....
