Re-Paint

[Ironriot]

Well, make sure you post some pics...I'll have some fresh ones up tomorrow...now that I got the bike finished....I got to " step into the zone" to get some hose clamps for my fuel line......zip ties just don't cut it. I'm totally happy with the results I achieved so far.....the wife even said the bike looked good.....and she's hard to please!(aside from myself!!) I know it's hard to remember, but TAKE PICS!!!.....I almost forgot...

Lol of course! What a bike resto be without pics? I just need to find that damn camera. By the way you got any threads on here with pics of your scoot? Yet to see it I think

Thanks....hey, I just looked back on some old posts, and saw your bike.....when you first got it I guess...saw the paint you had, that is probably similar, mine is the red/blue....

[Ironriot]

Yeah I had noticed that. Only yours looks alot better. Mine was a ten footer. The guy who laid it on kinda did a bad/good job. Alot of imperfections but at the same time the paint was on THICK and it was pretty tough. Took about 3 or 4 coats of aircraft remover to get it all off. And thats saying something

well, mine is far from a professional job, and it does have flaws....mostly from the G*damn bugs.....but, all things considered, it turned out quite well, and from where it was from the old job....that was probably done by some drunk " good 'ol boy" judging by what I stripped off..... I need to do some touching up, but, nothing major. That color you had on your bike is ok....I just don't care for green...and, if it wasn't done right....that would definitely make it that much more " ugly " that's why I chose to go with the "red/blue " Mirage....I thought about the " ice " but they didn't have it, and after painting , I don't think it would have looked like I wanted it to. Now as it stands, if you look at the bike head on, or at an angle, it looks copper/purple/blue, dead on, it's a deep purple/blue

Remove skull stickers.

That is all.

The bike wasn't done for you. It was done in HIS tastes. If he likes it let it be

[pickardracing]

The guy asked for opinions. I posted mine. STFU.

[t3rmin]

Well actually he's selling it. Was painted with selling in mind, I think. So the bike was done for the future owner, apparently. The scull stickers hurt it's saleability, so I'd remove them. Otherwise it looks great.

tastes

Well, everyone has their own tastes....and this happens to be mine, just like I didn't like the way the bike looked before, the next owner can change it to their taste.....and I doubt stickers or paint is going to make any difference on " saleability " I would tend to think that the roadability, and mechanical condition would make MORE of a difference:? But, that's just me.
I appreciate the opinions regardless though

What are you some kinda twelve year old internet geek? You post immature things because you can hide behind your internet. Grow up

I dunno, I really dont think telling you to shut the **** up is immature.

You're the one getting all ass-hurt because I gave my opinion. Grab a mirror.
