Those 3 lines are not straight. Measure the distance between the middle and bottom lines and they won't be the same.

Re: self painted, first time. outcome is pretty good to me :
the 3 lines one the first picture are straight.. it looks squint because there are slopes on the fairings... and the way i took it is out of perspective, the second picture are also straight, but its not 100% symmetrical to the first picture as it was pretty hard to make them 100% the same.

For your first attempt, that looks damned good from here
Ignore the purists, I hate the standard RWB scheme too, it's so common and it's boring. At least you'll know which bike is yours

Conventional wisdom says to know your limits. To know your limits you need to find them first. Finding your limits generally involves getting in over your head and hoping you live long enough to benefit from the experience. That's the fun part.
