this is the body I bought







But I think I need to redo all the orange parts on my bike to another powder to match the new scheme.

do you guys know of any powders that you think will match up nicely?

TIA!

is tropic a single or a chrome base?


I think thats what I should go after.


btw, change "because custom doesnt come in a box"

to be one line, not two.
might look better.


Thanks for helping out!

oh bro!! strip & polish your frame, sub-frame & swing-arm & do 'em in Tropic Orange with ghost flames . leave the wheels alone, maybe match the pinstripe to the tropic. then u can do the little things like the calipers, small brackets & such to match as well.

I will start to ponder what to do. see I was thinking about doing just rims, mirror black in the middle like a stripe and then the rest of it tropic orange.

did you go over chrome powder or did you polish?

I think I might strangle myself and polish.

Nice picture HAHAHHA


I did all those parts, some were chrome/polished Alum, and others I did Extreme chrome base.
Pegs, levers, mirrors were polished alum, chrome. The shifter and brake pieces flanking the Hyabusa license plate frame were shot with Extreme. As well as the triple tree and the bars.
The License frame was actually Brushed alum.
