'My eyes!'

I'm sure that's Rover Metro 'peacock blue'. But it might be 'shell suit
blue' as used by BMW on the R1100RS.

 

Tasteful?

 

Jebus.... my nan used to have a bathroom suite in that colour.

 

Quite aside from the total disgustingness of the thing, the seller
says in the description,

" Viewing by appointment possible (and highly recommended!)
No tyrekickers, no timewasters, no boy racers, and no wannabee's."

What is a tyrekicker or timewaster? Presumably in his world it's some
one who looks at it and doesn't buy it, that would be most people with
any sense !

Come to that what's a wannabee ? A wannabee what?

 

I wonder how he's still suffering from prostatitis if he's been totally
gutted.

 

Shit colour (but that's a personal choice thing), shit scheme (but that's a
personal choice thing), but certainly not a bad paint job. Very nicely
executed actually. Just like the blind owner should be.

We know - we can see the washbasin on the back of the bike.

 

Can't reply at the moment - just repainting the Pan...

Actually, I quite like it...

Fuuck, that's hideous.

Thankfully, it's described as "Totally unique"
May we be spared casting our eyes on another one.

It's a shite colour and a shite colour scheme, but the paint job is actually
good. I wouldn't be seen dead on it, but I wouldn't hang my head in shame
admitting it was me that painted it (it wasn't though)

heh.

Actually, if somone comes in and asks you to spray something a minging
colour, do you provide the same advice, or just spray it anyway ?

Paul.

 

We try, but it's not always successful so we go with what they want and
clean our puke up later.

Ultra graphics plastered all over our paint and then back for lacquering are
the worst ones. Some people have absolutely no idea what looks good on bikes
or cars or even guitars. We've painted an Evo IV pastel pink, an MX5
blistering pink (although it looked fucking superb, but only if a tart drove
it), an Escort Cozzie in citrine green (almost fluoro yellow) and recently I
painted a PRS guitar with a picture of Boris fucking Karloff on the front
depicting the film "The Mummy" and sprayed a Gibson Les Paul Studio (the
cheapest Les Paul) to look like a '57 Gold Top (one of the expensive ones).
That looked good, but wrong IYSWIM.

This look like it?

I saw that guitar in use on Tuesday night at Newcastle Metro Arena.
They did, indeed, rock a fat one.

 

Exactly that. See... no fucking originlity some people but what can one do?
He wants his guitar looking like a fucking shite advert, I can give (sell)
him what he wants.

I have a sneaking suspicion the owner of this particular PRS doesn't.

Post corrected. It's an ESP not a fucking PRS. It only says it on the
guitar, on the case and on the fucking job ticket

I did wonder, since the original it's modelled on is an ESP.

 

So many guitars just lately and so little interest. That's my excuse and I'm
sticking to it

Not a single bid made on that thing. Gives one a warm fuzzy feeling to know
that the owner has unique taste and we won't see a shed load of the things
out in the open.
