head badge is worth the price!

I don't know, I still had buyers remorse.

Anyhow, the Galaxy gives me a chance to do some detail. I used to lots of fine masking in the prepress. This is the tape I cut for the stripes on the colored edges. I'm going with gold in white. I'll tape one white edge three fine lines then the other white edge.

The first white mask, I made sure there was a fine line of blue showing.

Mask for the gold.

Masking the edge of the gold and setting the white edge.

The first gold line will be painted then the tape pulled will be reapplied and the adjacent tape will be pulled for the white paint.

The gold is painted now I'll reapply the the tape pulled for gold and I'll then pull the strips for the white and paint.

I'm going to need the white to dry some, then before it's dry I'll peel the tape. If it dries it could come off with the paint, to prevent that I can score the edge of the paint/mask with a razor. That's an unlikely need.

And the first stripes view.

Doesn't take much to make me happy. A little overspray on the cranks that should just wipe off with thinner. I forgot to burnish the tape so there are a few spots of bleeding.

LOVIN' this. I look at these classy AF stripes and then what they do to modern bikes and just shake my head.
