That's really going to set it off.
Is the frame pc or paint? If paint rattle can? If so wow!

Thank you Rick for another set of awesome covers :thumbsup:
Yes it is paint ..Rustoleum High performance . Good stuff . Looks like powdercoat.

This bike should turn out even better than the Cheetah 200 I did last year

I used some hammered and it is great also. I like the "simplicity" of it. Nice clean. I am more of a purist. This one is a keeper.

They are both keepers :laugh: Alot of people dismiss the hammer finish, but I will tell you that every bike that I have painted with the stuff looks like new to this day. If you get a scratch or chip, you just spray some paint into the cap , dab a cue-tip in it and touch it on the spot. It blends right in , and you cant see where the touch up was ever made.:thumbsup:

I am sold on it for rattle can. Just wish there were more color choices.
Don't mean to hijack.

HEY BUCKEYE CHECK YOUR LOCAL AUTO PARTS THAT MIXES CAR PAINT. THE AUTO VALUE HERE WILL PUT ANY COLOR INTO A SPRAY CAN.

But according to some this doesn't count as a build because I am just painting and rechroming and buying bolt-ons ut:. I say if you can bring them back from the dead ......Its a build :hammer:
