Default new paint

Well as some know the bike used to be black. On the way to the sumospeed/tte car bike show it fell while on the trailer. Well after about 3 attempts for me to paint this thing, this is what I got. Not the best paint job due to no pain both just a shed and the air hose broke during clear coat and started to spit. But hey better then it was with the big crack and hole in the side. Still can see crack some but it is fiberglassed on the back so it should hold. et me know what u think.



Got the pain scheme from my Jeep. Same paint code.

I'll have to see it in person Ted. Looks a little dullish. I don't know much about the whole painting thing, but I'm assuming there was perhaps some sanding between coats and a good buff that were both forgotten?

I like the color combo, but as previously stated, it does appear to be a little dull. Looks like it's right out the "booth" though, so perhaps it hasn't been properly sanded.

Thumbs up Re: new paint

it's pretty presentable, but don't expect to win any awards or show off to any auto shows of such. but overall it's pretty good, wish i had some knowledge on that. nice job

yeah i just finished spraying the clear. it is ight but for someone thats never done it before i think it looks ight. I didmess up and got water in the spray cause the seperator thing broke. oh well i can ride it thats all that counts.

oh and the winch is in the trash I broke it for a second time so i said fuck it and trashed it like 3 months ago.




here is a different angle.
