This is by far the trickiest paint job I've ever tried

looks good so far, if it helps its normally easier to do it all one colour then mask off and put the other colours over if that helps although it might be a bit late. It looked like you were just doing green and white

To be honest, that's how I normally would have done it, but I think when Wayne did his, he masked each colour off seperately, so I thought I would do the same.
It's more work from a masking point of view, but it will all be worth it in the end.
I'm about half way there now, just the blue and white left to go.

Very nice job again, trouble with a fancy spray job is matching it up if you fall off, have you used rattle cans or spray gun?

That looks brilliant for a track bike!!
My concern if it was mine now would be the three seconds a lap I lose because:
A: I'm getting older
B: it looks too good to drop
C: the time it would take to sort it out if I crashed
D: oh and crashing hurts more as you get older..
Did I say I'm getting old

Ben - have you put any heat shield on the belly pan. I suspect the expansions are going to be a pretty close fit and the heat will bubble the paint.
