then i used some metal shears to cut out some sheet metal to fit and cover the tank. since i don't know how to weld or have access to a welder, i used jb weld to stick the sheet metal to the frame

it looks messy but you can sand the jb weld once it's dry

heres the other side

after the sheet metal was done, i used bondo to smooth it all out

 

[noe_from_texas]

sand it then add more bondo

 

[noe_from_texas]

keep adding bondo and sanding it till it's smooth

then here are the steps i took for the paint

of course you need to do the primer first. after i did the primer i painted the whole frame a flat black because i wanted to do some patterns on it and needed the base colors to contrast to bring out the different colors. then i taped off some very simple patterns on the frame

after taping the patterns i painted the whole frame silver so it can bring out the metallic green that i was gonna paint it.

the second pic shows when i took the tape off. by having a bright silver and black base, the patterns will show better

then finally i used a dupli-color emerald green metallic with some dupli-color clear coat and here is the end result :biggrin:

Please dont do the frame like that. You need something different for a skirt. There are too many bikes with that kinda skirt on the back. I will post some different shit tomorrow for you.
