New OCC Chopper paint!

[TerrontheSnake]

Here is my almost finished paint job. I would already have it together but I effed some stuff up. I have to take it apart and fix it one more time then I'll post the finished pics.

you forgot to paint the wheels, even though you did get the spark-plug
the webbing looks good, but don't over do it.

LoL, yeah I did get the plug LoL. Umm back wheel is done actually. I don't know if I'm gonna do the front one though. I'll decide once everything is together. I did already learn that lesson about the webbing though. This is really my first paint job on something besides a RC car, so I definately have some lessons to learn. I like how it is turning out so far though.

looks good.. just be sure to keep it out of the sun for 2 months, and then wax it good after 2 months, and then try to still keep it out of the sun.. Acrylic lacquer fades really easily and it's not very durable.. easy to make shine deep tho

Don't wax it right away or you'll end up ruining it.

if you do another, I'd reccomend using candy transparent colors to get the effect you want.. in a BC/CC urethane..

From what I see you have just the right balance, I think it looks REALLY good. I can't wait to see the bike finished!!!

[TerrontheSnake]

Yeah I should be posting new pics in less than 5 hours, if all goes well. I just have to run my electronics and my cables right now, damn I wish I wasn't at work.

They weren't on at this point. I couldn't use the back ones so I modded some off a different bike and did my own post's for it.
