you know of any sites where you can see their colour selection.
I'd like to find something that would go good with lime green.
possibly a candy.!!

Just make sure not to bake the frame, wheels, swingarm and suspension parts at too high of temperature because Aluminum gets brittle when overheated. Bake it at the minimum required temps; just barelyenough to bake on/ cure the paint.

hey sup if i wanted to do somthing in a candy colour would it be best to polish it first for the right effect?
or how else would you get the silver or chrome looking base under the candy?

that i dont know because i didnt have a chance to test it. i did mat black over the chrome so it turned out the same as it would on other pieces. but yeah you think that would be the case just like pant.

on the other hand though i know they sell candy colors so maybe you dont have to do anythning to prep the metal
