Thank you gents, I appreciate the comments.

Scott T,
These rims are actually painted now. I sand blasted the rims and just wasn't happy with the look of the blasted rims. Silver paint and clear on top.

Here is a pic with rims blasted. They're clean, but just doesn't "pop"

 

[bikebudy]

Well, great silver color then, because they just pop..

 

[buckeye]

Zilver, smilver. .don't care what they are. Them are pretty..

 

[mrpat]

Thank you Corey, thank you Tom.

 

[chipper]

They look great painted , nice for sure !!

 

[mrpat]

I better get some pics and an update soon.

Engine is still in pieces, but I have everything except for a few fasteners.

Forks are straight and now painted, just need to re-assemble them. Gas tank is also painted and ready for the new decals.

I still need to work on the frame a bit. There are a couple of little goddammits that need ground off and one of the foot peg mounts needs a fixin'.

Looking to have a roller here very soon!

 

[OND]

Looking go Pat, I like that color ! :thumbsup:

 

[mrpat]

Thanks Eric, candy red. It will match Miss Karen's seat perfectly.

 

[OND]

I was going to say is it Candy Apple Red ? Yep it should match the seat just fine .

Thank you. Since I live in Michigan, I haven't had the pieces out in the sun yet because it isn't June yet.. haha!!
I gotta put that dang engine back together. (I am dreading it)

Pat, it looks as good as I expected it to. Going in to this competition, I felt you were one of the guys who'd be in the forefront, and you didn't let me down.

Can you post some details on the paint? PM is okay if you want.
