    Small overhaul

    Well the girlfriend told me she wants her frame re coated before we go to the little sahara trip mar 22. She told me about 2 weeks ago, so i had a frame almost stripped to nothing that i was gonna coat for myself so i just took it. She chose granny smith green for her frame. So i dropped it off a week and a half ago. Got it back today and it turned out very nice, did the frame, stem, top two coils on the works shocks, and all engine mounts green, swingarm is black along with the bottom coils, factory grab bar, and wheels are black. Gonna go with white plastic with black tank cover and black seat and hood. I have plans on having it together pretty soon, hopefully tomorrow but i dont know for sure. I will post some pics and see what everyone thinks. The frame resembles kawi green in the pic but it is far from it, has a yellow pearl over it that throws a candy look to it. I hope it turns out well.

    Started with the picture on top, stuff looked pretty rough but it was all in great shape just needed some tlc. The last pic is the shock, i know i know i need to pull the springs back off and polish the shock bodies and i will, i just need to get it together first and then that will become a concern. Let me know what you all think of the colors. I have a set of stock a arms that have been chromed to go on the front,, and wana get some chrome side cases for the engine other than that mostly powder coat will cover every thing.

    I'm doing almost the same colors in ny works fronts, except mine have 3 springs each, so im doing the top and bottoms green. With the middle black. Glad I could see it before I actually do it!

    These have 3 each also, they have two small ones just cant see the transition. Thanks for the compliments it was kind of a scary color to chose knowing powder lays down different than it looks on metal its self. I like it though.
