I reckon that's the best crystal effect I've seen.

[Gix11]

That is intense mate. This is going to be unreal when it's finished. Damn, so many bikes to check out at AFR I hope I get some bloody time this year!

[CBRRRT]

Fark me mate thats superb, never seen that done before.

[Gix11]

You too could become a legend mate, check here: http://www.streetfighters.com.au/ASF_HT_cust_paint.asp

[BANDITROD]

my god now you've done it jon will crystal his whole neighbourhood....and that looks absolutly bloody stunning guys well done

[Large]

It's like a bamboo jungle in a Commando comic.

I keep looking for the nips to come charging out yelling AAIIIIIEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

[BANDITROD]

thats was exactly what i was thinking when i first glanced at it ...its bloody mesmerising

[opindown]

mate that is hot! luv the look of the crysal effects paint work.

[crazymofo]

thats shithot, nice work.

can i ask what the headlight unit is off?

cheers.joe.

[KRASH]

I don't think we know exactly how we pulled it off...It was just a right time right place sort of thing?
The crystals just went stupid, we were chasing BIG crystals and we certainly got them...LOL
Geoff the painter finished the Electric Orange at 4am this morning and we got stuck into the rest at 9 am (finished at about 5:30 pm)
I'm over the moon with the outcome to say the least...! Considering it was his first job with the crystal thing.

The headlight assembly is a KTM 690 Duke one...
:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

[BANDITROD]

top marks for the painter mate and as for the crystals what did you use i mean what formula and what ratio mix was it

[skiddz]

paint looks incredible... any links to this crystal shit you are on about?

[KRASH]

It was Alsa Corp "Crystal FX" liquid and was sprayed on through a pressurised squirt bottle and then we used a rag soaked in the product to wipe over the surfaces after spraying on the product this seemed to even out the stuff and it grew like it was posessed...

It was just straight out of the bottle we didn't thin it down at all.
The temp was about 30 degrees today and the humidity was not as high as it has been in recent weeks.

Looks great! Probably a good thing I'm not bringing the 12r this year - I'll need the extra year to keep up with the quality thats coming out these days! Shit hot mate.

[skiddz]

hmmm that crystal stuff is interesting..... fucking pricey though there must be an alternative available from a chemical supplies place.......

[Tomanyprojex]

Fucking pricey? I don't know. Fucking fantastic looking? Is a deffo. What a brilliant paint effect, Like Jon, I've never seen it before. It looks superb, nice one guys.

[zx12argh]

Mate loving it - looks brilliant. That paint work came up sensational.

Just my 2c i reckon you need something to break it up a little - some kind of striping across the tank/tail but otherwise fuck me that looks hawt :D

[tunelliner]

nuckin futs

that looks hucking fot!

[Gix11]

I bet that looks even better in real life hey Tony? Excellent work mate, looking forward to seeing it.

[BANDITROD]

[KRASH]

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/388168659203920.jpg

Heres a clearer one...
First ride is tomorrow...[8D]

[oldskool]

WOW Great work Tony!

[opindown]

that thing looks sweet. love what you have done with it. top job

[pommie]

Making the crystal yourself is simple but the results are not as good as the Alsa stuff, I did a tech story on making the crystal in Rapid Oct 07 issue. I found that making your own they are a lot more temperamental and if the temp/humidity is wrong they won’t work at all.
From memory it involves fertiliser and ammonia just don’t buy them together or they call the police.
If anyone is interested I can look up the story/instructions?


KRASH I recon you’re bike look great and I can't wait to see it in the flesh at AFR

[BANDITROD]

i am keen pommie

[WATEVR]

that looks awesome mate well done. how about a shot out in the sun?? the wheels look great too.

[Deano]

[KRASH]

Hope to get it out of the bloody shed tomorrow...:)

[Iceman]

That look's fuck'n awesome. Great job with the paint.

IT'S ALIVE.......:D
I had to come home and lick the dogs arse to get the stupid grin off my face...

Awesome fun to ride, I can't wait for AFR now

Now comes the clean up though...:( Both the bike and the Shed!

[HueyonaBlade]

Sweet as a nut mate , this was the colour combination I was hoping for when Gibbo did my marble effect , but unfortunately ( Gotta love it now though );) it turned out a little darker almost a rusty colour
And the big crystals are awsome top marks on the build [^]

[exile]

Crackin build m8, that KTM headlight unit looks meant to be on her ;)
