I would of liked it to come out darker, but nice nonetheless.

I didn't... if you look close you can see the wires that were still attached to the sub..

it is darker than the pic shows, the flash reflected. The paint has a very fine metallic in it.


And no, it's not powder coated.. I had it sandblasted and just did the paint myself.. Now everything in my garage has a nice blue tint!! :whoa:

yeah i was looking at the different parts of the frame where the flash seemed not to hit, and it looked darker. nice job, hope it holds up!

Thanks.. Me too, but I can assure you, if I go riding this weekend, it'll be mostly gone by monday!

 

[Moose]

That sucks. Why'd you spend so much time painting it if you're just expecting it to all be gone by Monday.

Happy for you! When are you selling the 85? What are you planning to buy? 125 or the bad, bad, BAD 250F ;)

That depends. I will be buying a friends hardly ever ridden CRF250R. I've ridden it more than he has, and I have only been on it for about 30 minutes. It's cherry.

If I can come up with the cash for that bike, without selling the YZ, I'll keep it. Otherwise, as soon as I know I need to sell it, it's going on the block.

My little 10 year old brother wants an MX bike, but his/my father doesn't want :yell: I don't know if an 85 would be too big for him. He should start on a 65 I guess.

Nice ride BTW! Looks nice and clean.

 

[Moose]

That frames lookin' hot! Nice job.

 

[trial_07]

HAHA!!! You're not actually gonna pick up those leaves are you?

 

[IndyMX]

Thanks... I thought it looked pretty good too.. Painted the pipe while I was at it too..

Why pick up the leaves.. The are doing just fine where they are. I am a hands off yard maintenance type of guy.

I watch my neighbor clean up leaves in his yard all the time, it looks really nice for about a day. Then it's right back to looking like mine.

 

[trial_07]

I'm just like you! Although I should clean the dog poop in the back yard once in a while :) The grass just gets better!

 

[trial_07]

What paint did you use for the pipe?

 

[IndyMX]

What paint did you use for the pipe?

High Temp black... The can actually says "BBQ Paint"

It's 1200 degree rated black.
