Author Message   Essthreetee Posted on Tuesday, January 23, 2007 - 09:52 pm:        In the top 3?? http://www.buell.com/en_us/promos/stt_contest/inde x.asp   Americanmadexb Posted on Tuesday, January 23, 2007 - 10:06 pm:        i dont like any of them, ill keep it at that!   Glitch Posted on Tuesday, January 23, 2007 - 10:12 pm:        I wish my hand hadn't been broke during the competition...   Spreadem Posted on Tuesday, January 23, 2007 - 11:13 pm:          Rocketman Posted on Wednesday, January 24, 2007 - 05:24 am:        The best by far was one of the simplest. The number 46 theme. That chrome thing looks ridiculous. Polished alloy on a trials bike maybe. But chrome? Bathroom accessory for the poor. Rocket   Reepicheep Posted on Wednesday, January 24, 2007 - 09:09 am:        Rocket... the chrome is not chrome, but rather a paint job made to look like chrome reflecting a particular scene. A cool concept, and there is a lot of neat detail. I like two of the top three a lot!   12r Posted on Wednesday, January 24, 2007 - 10:43 am:        Ducati's GP7 has some chrome... Carbon fibre/titanium/kevlar is so last year dahling.   Mark_in_ireland Posted on Wednesday, January 24, 2007 - 11:02 am:        If that 3 made the top I'm glad I didn't see any of the others, they look awful.   Rocketman Posted on Wednesday, January 24, 2007 - 05:09 pm:        Reep, I am aware of the process, but I stand corrected. Fake chrome - which is even worse. Hell dude, I was chrome plating plastic parts for my chopper when I was in nappies. Rocket   Bads1 Posted on Wednesday, January 24, 2007 - 05:23 pm:        Reep there really isn't a paint that would give a real good chrome effect. But it can be plated. The paint work though afterward would be a huge task.   Pammy Posted on Wednesday, January 24, 2007 - 05:32 pm:        I think what Bill was getting at is, that the chrome is not the wonder but the "view" reflected in the chrome is. The devil's in the details.   Bads1 Posted on Wednesday, January 24, 2007 - 05:35 pm:        Yes I know that Pammy. I just saying that real chrome effect of a mirror can be done but the paint part of the job would be... lets say a nightmare.   Reepicheep Posted on Wednesday, January 24, 2007 - 06:33 pm:        I think I see... you are saying that what looks cool with photoshop would be impossible to actually create on the real bike?   Bads1 Posted on Wednesday, January 24, 2007 - 07:30 pm:        Exactly Reep. It might be able to be done but it would require a ton of work.   Glitch Posted on Wednesday, January 24, 2007 - 07:31 pm:        you are saying that what looks cool with photoshop would be impossible to actually create on the real bike? That is often the case, but of course, as it is with most anything, if you have the $$ most anything is possible. I think the design could be done on a bike, but it wouldn't look much like what you see on there. Nothing you'd want to put in production that's for sure.   Bads1 Posted on Wednesday, January 24, 2007 - 07:40 pm:        Glitch you have a PM.   Glitch Posted on Wednesday, January 24, 2007 - 08:58 pm:        Gottcha Dana, I'll get with you in the morning/afternoon tomorrow.   Bads1 Posted on Wednesday, January 24, 2007 - 09:05 pm:        Cool!!! Daves thought it was a cool idea also.
