Jeez... so basically I would have to spend over 100 bucks on just paint and clear and then say another 100 for the sprayer and compressor. I might as well just ask my buddy who works at a paint shop to paint it. I'm all down to do it myself, but if it'll cost me just was much to get it done by someone else,  ill let the people who know what they are doing do it. Haha...

Thanks for the info. I do appreciate it.

It all depends on your situation. If i had a buddy at a paint shop then F it. I would let him do it. But i dont have a buddy that paints. But i do have a comressor. Paint is $25 a can. Primer, color, metal flake, clear and you at a $100. Gun is $40. So for me it was cheaper. But my next bike, its going to a shop. I want it to look professional!

[ratty750]

Yeah. Ill have to ask him. I can probably get a trade or barter off him. Depending on turn around time, I might just have to rattle can it for now until winter.

[ratty750]

Well, it looks like a good paint job is going to have to wait until winter.  330 bucks for paint and supplies and another 100 per panel. So I can't wing that right now. So rattle can will have to do until then. Oh well.

So. It's been a minute since I've posted anything. But I got some new pictures. Let me know what you think.





She runs pretty good. This winter I'm going to tear her apart and rebuild the motor. But other than that, She's a quick little b!tch.

Like the look Ratty, are you going to clean up that rear rim before you get a professional paint job?

[ratty750]

Thanks. I'm real happy with it.

Yeah, both the wheels will be cleaned up. I'll probably paint those black as well. Not sure yet though.
