Painting my frame

[Stoopidbot1]

I figured since I won't be able to ride for a while I will make some visual changes. I'm going to repaint my frame Honda red, my subframe is going to be a bright yellow along with my hubs. I will do my lower A-arms red and the upper arms will be yellow. I will keep all the plastics and wheels the same. My swingarm will be black.

Here is what I got done today...

Day 1

[mywifeknowseverythin]

Great!!!!! Now Tape it all off and Spray Bomb!!!!!!!

[Stoopidbot1]

LOL, I still have a lot more stuff to remove, then I'm getting it PCed.

Powder coating is the way to go. If it were me though, I would go with the same color orange that is on the side of your seat and handguards, instead of the yellow. I think that color goes well with everything now, the yellow seems like it would clash a bit IMO. I think sticking with the red is a good idea, I think it looks good, and I think the black swingarm would look good too. I have been thinking about doing mine next year, everything will be going matte black if I do anything.

[Stoopidbot1]

The flash made the hand guards and seat look orange. They are actually honda red.

[DirtDemon]

Oh, so they match the frame too, well in that case, I think the yellow might actually look good then. I am definately anxious to see what it looks like when it is finnished.

I made a little bit more progress before surgery.

[Sc0tt]

You are getting it done.

[outlander560]

im liking it...nice future color choices cant wait to see it finished

[Stoopidbot1]

So I am as far as I can go one handed. From this point I need help from my dad.

And my pile of parts...

[Sc0tt]

Looks pretty nekkid Bot.

[Stoopidbot1]

Yeah, look at this!!!

[DirtDemon]

When you going to send the stuff off to be PC'd?

[Stoopidbot1]

Hopefully in the next couple of weeks. But I have not been working b/c of my shoulder surgery.

[Sc0tt]

Yeah, look at this!!!

Now that is nekkid. It will look great. I am about to have my wheels on my Jeep powder coated. I can't wait.

[Stoopidbot1]

Just got my frame back from being powder coated...

[mywifeknowseverythin]

That Bannana Yellow is sure go match that Stripe down your Back:laugh: JUST KIDDING!!!!!!!!!

Lookin Real good there....Trying to visualize the color Scheme though....Any hints????

[Stoopidbot1]

The plastics are staying plack. Upper a arms are yellow and lower are red. I'm going to get some yellow CV4 hoses.

So total will be black, yellow, and red.

[DirtDemon]

I am wanting to see how it looks when it is all finnished, so get that shoulder loosened up and get to work.

[Stoopidbot1]

This is where I left off today...

[Sc0tt]

Looks really good.

[outlander560]

looking real nice there Bot!

[DirtDemon]

Looking good, keep it up, I'm still waiting.

[Stoopidbot1]

I'm waiting on a few parts to arrive. A few new bearings, sprockets, and chain. As soon as those arrive I will be able to make a lot more progress. I still have to paint my A-arms, it has been too cold to paint thrm. Stock arms can't be PC'ed...

[Stoopidbot1]

I made some more progress today...

[Ajmboy]

Looks good. Is this at the new house?

[Stoopidbot1]

No, our closing date got pushed back to June 4th.

[Stoopidbot1]

Here is the finished product

[DirtDemon]

I notice you went with Lone Star a-arms instead of painting the stockers. Have you figured out what you need to adjust the shock pressure to so it doesn't ride too soft. The wider stance looks good, are did you run a different offset on the rear wheels to widen the rear out, they look like they have a bit more offset than standard. Looks like you stuck a wheel spacer in there too. That yellow subframe is looking kind of lonely though, are you going to change the color on anything else to match it?

[Stoopidbot1]

I ended up busting a ball joint on my stockers so i went that route. Temporarily I have 1" spacers and a different offset on the back to even out the front and back. I found that 65PSI in the shocks works great for what I do. I plan on adding some Yellow radiator hoses
