What made you change your mind about the front frame and battery box color?
What ever the reason, it looks damn good.

It was a last minute decision... there was no thought behind it.
At first I was like "OMFG, what have a done!"
Now I like it.

Yeah , the one thing I was worried about was all the purple against that turquoise. Leaving the box black eliminated what I feared.
Getting even coverage on the battery box is a fucking pain. You actually did yourself a huge favor. (Ask me how I know)

The three coats with p.i.t.a sanding in between each coat. I still have to sand again before it gets clear coat. I have no choice though because my battery box was/is beat to shit.

They make you smell like an old station wagon though........ which I love. Not convenient for filling up though.
