TroyBrock Posted April 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 Do not paint shit, it does not last. Like I said before, I'm painting things to get it feel for how it looks, no point in dumping money into PC to have it turn out not to my liking. Remember...less is more....dont do TOO many things or it will start to look like a clown bike.... I'm done with everything I wanted to paint, I'm about to get the pictures ready to put up.

TroyBrock Posted April 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 Here it is all put together, brand new V force 4s installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroyBrock Posted April 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 Here's the other side foot peg, brake lever and kicker. I'm gonna do the clutch cover soon either black or red and white scheme. I need to take it off as it is cause it's leaking oil around the gasket. What color do you guys think I should paint it? Black or Red with white clutch plate cover and red lettering? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdod101 Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 I think a really high gloss black would look good, something shiny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 Those white cylinders are going to look awesome after your first ride, when a leaky pipe flange connection decorates them with oil and carbon build up. Regardless of whether you do them with paint or powder. Did you paint you reed surfaces too? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of whether you do them with paint or powder. Did you paint you reed surfaces too? I think they'll wash easily, I'm not really worried about the oil and such, the pipes hide most of the cylinders anyway, only the head is really visible. I did not paint inside where the reed seats if that's what you're asking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TroyBrock Posted April 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 Here's some 'MERICA! for ya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroyBrock Posted April 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 (edited) On the Merica note, this bike was made the Japanese and it occurred to me that their flag is Red and White so I was thinking maybe I could make this a red and white colored bike as a tribute to the Japs giving us one hell of a machine Maybe get a Japan flag seat cover? maybe some kick ass Japanese style dragon vinyl? I'm just throwing ideas out there what do you guys think? Edited April 12, 2014 by TroyBrock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 (edited) ^ WTF! Some ones mother hung their art on the fridge for to long....... Although white and red do go together well. Maybe try different reds. Like the anodized red colors or other metallics. Edited April 13, 2014 by trickedcarbine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroyBrock Posted April 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 My shit was never on the fridge, but I can definitely hold my own with a piece of paper and a pencil. If I go towards the Japanese style banshee the red on there is perfect because it matches the flag well. I could look into something more metallic though.
