    Baja Doodle Bug Custom Candy Paint Model Photo Shoot

    My first mini bike build, a $60 yard sale impulse purchase turned slightly obsessive project. Ending in a photo shoot at the Hippie Killer Car Show in Southern California. All a bit strange for an English bloke.

    Baja Doodle Bug Time to Re-assemble

    Almost done, needs hydraulic brakes as I don't always have a football pitch of braking distance available to me, and I forgot to but new grips so I re-installed the beaten up and broken old ones for now.

    I wanted a 70's retro bling sort of look. Base coat black, taped off for gold flake, and then faded in candy apple red flake. Then sanded back lightly to give a vintage look, and first of many coats of clear. This is my first mini bike build and my first paint job. It was a lot of work but fun.

    Sanded and de-greased almost ready for primer ... luckily I have a friend who has a paint booth I could use after hours so late nights hear I come!

    Faded original powder coating, not pretty but rust free so it did its job! I wanted more 70's glitz though so time to tear it all down and get out the 3M scuff pads and sand paper

    Original motor I think, took it out and built a 212cc Harbor Freight Predator with modifications.

    Original brake, changed the pads ... still not really effective it slows it down but now it has about 10 horses it needs more, that is next on the to do list.

    $60 and it ran once I cleaned the carbs, put in fresh gas, and changed the oil! Rode it once and then I tore it apart for more CCs and noise.
