vulvafan537240 Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 welcome to the hq. what color are the plastics? i say maybe silver, silver vein, or black since chrome is out of the question. Quote
candybanshee Posted January 18, 2009 Author Report Posted January 18, 2009 sorry forgot that part. my shee is a full build. started with a j arm and bought a new frame and a arms. plastics are up in the air color wise. swinger is +2 chrome . wheels are douglas wheels polished . powder coated spindles candy blue. i was leaning towards white plastics but im up for opinions Quote
vulvafan537240 Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 i think white or black plastics would look nice with a candy blue frame Quote

CBAIER1206 Posted January 19, 2009 Report Posted January 19, 2009 You could do the a-arms the same color as the frame and all the little pieces in between like the tie rod ends, tie rods, end caps(which there are 6 to a side) and bolts chrome...that would look sick! Quote
Trixyboi14 Posted February 3, 2009 Report Posted February 3, 2009 (edited) Powdercoating is all good but a friend in the trade suggested that I paint my frame because even though powdercoating is very strong compared to painting, if you have a shunt you can't see the cracks in your frame where as with a painted frame you can. This is a plus because you can then weld where the frame as cracked and in the long reduce risks. Just a thought but gud luck Edited February 3, 2009 by Trixyboi14 Quote

Good Luck with your build. Edited February 4, 2009 by swhitey917 Quote
