Custom paint (and new-used steed)

[focus]

I just got a used switchblade frame. The stickers were peeling off the polished aluminum so I figured I may as well try some custom paint. It's a bit of a hack job, and if I did it a second time it'd be 100% better -- fortunately most of the hacking is hard to see from more than a couple feet away...

The 6-legged lizard is kind of random.... The handprint is my baby girl's.



I'm still figuring out the decal for the headtube, but I think I'll be doing something along the lines of my avatar, just inverse. Haven't really figured out how to get that part done, though -- too much detail for just masking it off like the rest of what I did, but it needs to look good and be semi-permanent.

Still waiting on a seatpost clamp, then it's new cables, chain, etc..... The majority of components are switched over from my old bike.

I'll try to post some pics once she's all put together...
