I just got a fiddy - 03. Hit some mud and dirt on the maiden voyage so I decided to strip it down and clean it. Well I figured since I had all the plastics off and the rear wheel that I would paint the frame black.

Going for a flat black. Havn't put it together yet. I don't have any pictures of the painted frame/swingarm yet. Completed pics comin soon.

These pictures are of the bike stripped down. The frame and swingarm has been sanded and cleaned.

 

While you have it apart you might as well get some high temp paint and go ahead and paint the motor too.

 

That looks pretty good. Too much work though

 

that motor is sexy

 

It's almost complete.

Once this rain goes away i'll be ready to pimp the new black frame.

I moved the key too.

 

I did the samee thing and it came out mint!!

however...i did my whole bike....and rode it within 8 hours from the time i started.
NO sanding...waste of time. i used a $2 can of paint also..its still mint. and i beat the **** out of mine.
I forgot I did it till I read this post.

 

heh I could of done that but I figured i'd take my time. It's been raining so i'm not missing out on any riding time.

I'm happy with the results - it looks kick *** and if I didn't paint it myself I would have thought it was powdercoated

 

hell yeah i had my friend paint mine and i think it looks sweet. post pics when it's done. https://www.stuntlife.com/forums/att...chmentid=68820
