Like CY I liked to spray paint stuff and didn't want to tag buildings... C.Y. did you use High Temp BBQ paint for your forks? that paint is more durable then regular flat black.....they also make a MATTE clear to spray over the flat black....(just not in High Temp) I pray the finished bike looks better then your mocked up pic/drawing...you are NO Chip Foose

Hey Brett you are pretty talented but I guess thats why your in the profession you are in. Hey I was looking to get my helmet airbrushed as a Boston Red Sox baseball hat. How cool would that be? Mybe we can work out a trade for a 12 packer of some quality suds.

PORKCHOP SANDWICHES!

ahhh the wonders of spray paint. i dont care what paint you use, it will get destroyed sooner than later. PC chips too. ive yet to find a coating that works well and is still light. especially with offroad racing, we keep it all raw. no use in painting it if it chips and looks like ass. so, raw the whole bike _youth, polish what you can. or paint it, whatever you'd like. i painted the bars and hoops on my P.2, sharky and destroyer can tell you how good it came out. prep is key, take your time.

alright. This project is gonna be an a little bit of a hold. i just got the cranks in today and they look absolutly fantastic and if I spraypainted the rest it would do it no justice. So I contacted the person I got it from to see where he did it or if he does the powder coating himself. I really wish pictures would do these cranks justice. Until I hear back, cheers
