custom painted scoots

Alright everyone, I was so hyped up about being able to finnish the paintwork on my sporty tank tonight and then posting pics for oppinionating, but seeings how I screwed up the paint and have to start from scratch, I can't, sooooo

Lets see some of your custom paint jobs, not pics found on the web of God knows who's bike, bikes that you own or owned, even if you didn't do the paintwork
