Nice idea, but from what I've found with the sheet magnets
(you can get them in a plastic coated form that isn't
affected by being spray painted), they don't stick well on
curved surfaces, typical of bike fuel tanks. I've had all
sort of little magnet advertisements that I've stuck to the
truck over time - if not in the right postion, they tend to
lift and blow off (usually at speed on the highway...).
Have had some magnets on one of the sports cars stay there
for a few years - yet same magnets on the truck lasted only
a few weeks. All to do with the location; gently curved
rear section of the coupe - no problem. Side panels or
sharper bends of the truck - bye bye!
Using 40oz speaker mangets to pin the pic down is probably
not a good plan either (and these still slide if placed on
side panels - yes, I've tried it!).
Scrapper, Black Dragon, who has been talking about
airbrushing his truck for ages (and still hasn't done so).
