BansheeRider87 Posted February 5, 2009 Report Posted February 5, 2009 Ricky Bobby....... you wont Quote
okbeast Posted February 5, 2009 Report Posted February 5, 2009 Definitely Ricky Bobby. Or like an Air Force or old War plane theme. Seen a few of those and they're badass. Quote
DallasGDub Posted February 5, 2009 Report Posted February 5, 2009 I thought about doing a Mad Maxx theme on a dirt bike one time. But I sold it. Like showing frame parts, very little plastic, real mechanical post nuke look. Quote

Ha...Yeah the thought ran through my mind also....Flat black fenders...raw pipes...This may be promising...Maybe some rusty colored mesh behind the hood and some rust colored paint on the cyl's...What about the hood cutout? MOAR! Quote

lokisbuddy Posted February 5, 2009 Report Posted February 5, 2009 I say go dragon with it make the fenders cut like wings headlight eyes and add noss and have the purge come out right by the fiberglassed snout. lol or you could make it look like old riveted steel or an army tank with the track conversion...........personally id like to see the track conversion (i saw a track and ski kit on craigslist for a shee) Quote

MOAR! Use rivets, and clamps to hold the plastics on also gives it an industrial look. Quote
lilmegill727 Posted February 5, 2009 Report Posted February 5, 2009 i agree on ricky bobby or air force. like a old style warplane on it. do you got pics of how it is now? Quote

SLORYDER Posted February 5, 2009 Author Report Posted February 5, 2009 (edited) Use rivets, and clamps to hold the plastics on also gives it an industrial look. Do you think the rust look would be too much? Like on the ctlinders/ hood mesh...I know the c yl is aluminum, but I think it might still look cool w/ like rust dripping from the stud holes...

I bet Nitrotate can PCoat glossy, Brass or Copper color. You can get copper bolts and polish the edges so they have a tarnished look to it. Tate can also use masking to get 2 tones on parts as well like bolt on parts and misc shit. Quote
banshee_terror_ Posted February 5, 2009 Report Posted February 5, 2009 do like a waving checkered flag with flames all around it and throw skulls in the flames Quote
SLORYDER Posted February 6, 2009 Author Report Posted February 6, 2009 Thanks guys, this is going well. So far it's a toss up between the clean but definately un-blingy mad max industrial theme and the somewhat rusty, rugged mad max look. I think raw oof pipes may go well w/ either of these (have yet to buy pipes) Need some more imput guys! Quote
