Beautiful. I love the contrast of the polished alum with the back part still painted.

thanks, i cant take all the credit though my wife is the one who told me to try it like that lol

 

[stabor1122]

HAHA. She has an eye for style I guess. I really like it. Wonder what it would look like with polished on blue.....hmmmm

 

[rtaylor15]

Love it. Wish mine was painted...

 

[rtaylor15]

thanks!! i actully like the way that the orange turned out, wasnt sure after the first coat but i like it now that its done.

 

[stabor1122]

What kind of paint did you use?

 

[2smoker85]

hope it was krylon, it seems to be the best stuff to use, so far in my ventures it has been, price wise and durability, or u can go with the more expensive dupont sh*t

 

[B-1]

Frame looks good. Im liking that orange. how much time did u have in all the prep work and paint

 

[rtaylor15]

in all, i would say 6-10 hours prep work and about 6 hours for priming/painting/clear.

 

[Busted Warrior]

Looks really good!! The only bad thing is that when you ride its gonna get scratched
