Well, thankfully the weather forecast was right today. It started raining right at 3:40 so it gave me time to start painting my bike this afternoon.


It's looking pretty good at the moment. Wasn't able to get a piece off so it's still primed, oh...the gas tank is still purple as well but the rest is done and is looking nice. I forgot to take pictures but I'll post some tomorrow.

Default Here are your pictures, deej.

Here are a few pictures. YES. I need to put the blinkers on and reflectors on it-I need to order my flush mount ones soon...

...but yeah, couldn't take off the back part or gas tank-so 3 more things to coat, then gonna do another one. Anyways..tell me what you think [I love constructive criticism]. It isn't too close to being done yet, but getting there. So far, I'm happy with it. :]

Thanks guys!



[also, thanks to my boyfriend for taking the pictures outside of where I work when he brought me food. Just wanted to through that in there and give him some credit.]
