Ok I just got home from my parents house and checked out the paint job.
I will put the bike together tommorow night and post pictures when I get home (Stale, feel free to post the picts you have on this thread if you want)
1st off Stale and GDC came to an agreement on the paint job so I am not going into the particulars on pricing. He is now a sponsor of mine because I am so happy with how this came out.
Overall, I love the fricken paint job he did. Completely Flesh. I had basically told Stale the paint job was 100% up to him, all I wanted was it to say Gixxer.com really big on the uppers/lowers. Other than that totally up to him, I was originally going to just paint the bike flat black and this is so much better. Stale took it apon himself to paint in my yellow plates which was uber cool but he did not stop there! Gixxer.com adornes both sides of the lower, very big I might add. Along with that ,on the top of the tail on the bubble it says "Fleshy". On the tank which is fricken awsome I might add he put 2 black Suzuki decals on each side. On the top of the tank it says "Team Skinny" with a dog pissing on the Team part

The colors are basically White and Black with some red highlights in certain places. MUCH better than the Miami Vice look these plastics had going on.
I have really not done any body work in my life and I had gotten a wrecked tank when I decided to race. I did my best to bondo the huge ass gaping dent on one side but really had a hard time trying to match the sides up right, even after my second attempt at bondo'ing it. Stale god bless him took it apon himself without me knowing to fix my shitty job and the tank looks near flawless, thanks BTW

The paint itself is good. There are no thick spots or drips at all, very uniformed. Now don't take this next part the wrong way at all. I *think* he is just starting to dabble with the pin striping brush as the lettering is outlined with what seems to be a pinstrip brush. It is a little rough around the edges but I can totally tell as you went along it got better and better. Keep practicing bro, you are really getting the hang of it. I am not sure if you really had done anything like that in the past but you will get better. I really don't think it is bad workmanship at all, just need to hone your skillz

Stales customer service is top notch. He kept me up to date on the paint job as he had regular paying customers in front of me which I was totally cool with. The bodywork came back packaged way better than it was sent out. He outdid the UPS store's original packing 10 fold.
Overall I could not be happier with the job that he did. I know for a fact he is getting better and better. That last pict of the 600RR 100% sold me on his work and once I got my stuff back I am COMPLETELY satisfied. You have earned my return buisness and you have earned my approval Stalemate!
I promise to post pictures tommorow night when I get home.
