BSB Paint Jobs

A right mixed bag. Some are terrible.
But do like the Rothman's lookalike near the bottom.

I wonder if anyone factors in whether a company sponsors a bike in bsb when they come to making purchasing decisions on mouldings and car parts.

Slight side track...

I worked very closely with an F1 paint specialist when we were doing the Team GB Olympic Bikes. They told me that when they work on liveries with teams they show a photo of the pack going into turn 1 and ask "which car is yours?". If you can't point it out within a couple of seconds your paint scheme is probably a bit crap.

Not sure some of these BSB bikes pass that test :think:

Alex Olsen ran the Rothmans lookalike scheme for last year as well. His leathers matched the old Gardner/Lawson look as well ;)
