Got Paint? **50 Make-Over**

See'n that its 7 fuggin degrees her the past few days I decided it was time to take the whole 50 apart and paint the frame and swing-arm and a few other little things

I went with a flat black :YEAH

It's dirty and wet cuz I had to ride it and there is snow in the streets but you get the idea, what do ya think?

I have my light switch in the same place.



It looks good R6bbie but do you think it will hold up? Usually powdercoating is the only thing that can hold up to 50 abuse.

How do you know its not powerder coated. And fu(k no it aint gonna hold up with the way I ride it...I almost loop a highchair and hit an on coming car cuz I thought I would be cool....then coming down from it I hit a parked car

How I went about it...Was to rip the whole things apart and get it painted. It was a 2 day process, I have no problem doing it again.


I learned to put the motor on 1st before putting the wheels on.
It was more like something to do than anything.

you liked my flat black plastic so bad you had to go and paint your frame that way... "imitation is the greatest form of flattery"

Painted frame

OK i know that R6bbie and silversurfer are prolly buddys so i guess they can talk **** to each other.LOL. BUt its not that hard to make the paint job last. I have a 2000 XR and the frame was 2003 Ferrari Modena red with a tablespoon of gold flake.. Only chips were from letting dummies load my bike. There are 10 guys i ride with and no stock paint on frames or swingarms.. We like Krylon and House Of Colors..

I'll be damned....you said something nice.

I was gonna do the forks...but I was going to get gold BBR tripple....but it looks like my buddy nick fell through here on my parts.

So next project is to do the rims (somehow I forget to do the sprocket??) hubs and forks.

That will be a peice of cake compared to the whole bike.
