Paint

[RIPPEN]

Tomarrow Iam planning on painting my frame. Iam wanting to paint it black but not sure what to do about the A-arms and swing arm. I was thinking of painting them silver so there is some contrast. A few buddies say silver, a few say black. Wander what some of you think??? Below is what it looks like now other than I will have CPI inframes, silver hubs and the jugs are no longer yellow. Thanks

I would go with a black frame and yellow a-arms and swing arm. I would also paint the hubs black. I think that would look good with yellow plastics and a black seat

black for sure, and a sticker of the mexican bumble bee guy from the simpsons

Black will never look weird or out of place. I say go with black on everything.

sup gee , i dont come on here much and if i do i dont post , but i just wanted to say , i completly painted my frame and i was pleased with the way it came out. heres my advice that i learnd from my mistakes

 

MAKE SURE FRAMES ether sandblasted or pressure washed very good

 

step two goto local paint store ( sherman williams )

Geez I just used some Duplicolor High Temp Engine Enamel (spraycan) on mine. Turned out really good and is still holding up pretty well 2 years later.
