Blaster tear down and rebuild..ON A BUDGET !

[matt1986g]

So, I got this old PINK 89 blaster for cheap, and decided Id see if I could make it look decent on a small budget, what do you guys think?

Pic on the right is what it looked like when I got it, pic on the left is what it looked like after I put about $50 in degreaser and paint and a $30 set of headlights.

Might i ask how it went from pink to black with degreaser? And silver frame to black?

 

[89blaster89]

you spray bombed the whole thing, not really my thing. i would rather ride a clean pink blaster than a spray bombed one. but if you like it then thats all that matters

 

[89blaster89]

Well its alittle more involved then just "spray bombing" I actually took the time to diss assemble everything, clean it properly, and paint it properly, took about two weeks total. And its not paint from a spray can, I used my spray gun hooked up to my air compressor.

I sanded it down and painted it with my spray gun, the degreaser was to get rid of the 23 years worth of filth left there by the previous owner, and the frames red now.

Oh the frame wasnt grey anymore either, the p/o did a sh*tty job painting it white

, yeah i dont think the seat paint will lastt though, it will probally rub off after a few rides

Looks better than purple. Did you use an adhesion promoter on those plastics before you painted them? If not it isn't going to last very long.What type or brand of paint did you use?

 

[PRChrist]

You should leave it purple dont look that bad
but black is not bad neither

I think it's a huge improvement given the amount of money you put into it.
