I just want to know how long it took to mask up the black chequers?

If you cut out squares and stuck them on, it would never be straight?

Either took a bloody long time, or there is a trick to it PC?

Yer i used to just tape up the checks which did take a long time, but now have a vinyl cutter so life is a little easier.

Yer most JP's do look better in a board bag..

Maybe "Little Bitch" or even "monkey man"

Nice work PC - saw Neville Staples Specials a few years back - fantastic to see 40-50 yo fat rude boys dancing like they where about to have a heart attack

That is way cooler than the stock look. A tech question though, what is the process and is the paint scratch resistant? Is there multiple layers of clear coat on it or a gel coat?

White 2k car paint, black and red base coat, 2k clear on the rails and the grip over the middle, pretty durable until it hits the rocks then nothing is durable..

Process? you will have to work it out like i had to, sorry not tips.. thats why i get paid to do it..

Gel coat is for speedboats not sailboards..

lol I thought you paid Jas to do it.. So I clicked your member profile and it all makes sense... Mind = Blown

I put my hand up to not recognizing the artwork, but for some reason it reminded me of Spy vs Spy..

How complicated can the vinyl cutter go?.. disraeli gears?

This is where I reveal myself to be a total Neville no friends

TT16 - was "Do Nothing" - not my favourite track especially when Mr Rico featured on the great Specials live recording of The pioneers "Long shot kick de bucket" and "Guns of Navarone".

Great work anyway

Great marketing , the way they can make 'no paint job' desirable.
Good for the company profit and keeps P.C. in work

I actually like the bare carbon look, they do it to minimize weight even though I'm sure it doesn't make a massive difference.

Carbon still needs a coat of paint.. It's just clear paint I imagine?

But it does look cool, the only problem is you need neat carbon all the way to the nose, and that leaves LOTs of wasted carbon.. $$$$
