Next project up. We are hoping to get some paint on before it gets too cold. We are thinking a coolant green.
Get this stuff. I just used some on a small project for my wife and it's the color you want. Use a white base with it. I've got one frame I'm messing with now that's going to be getting painted with it most likely. It's super bright and glows some under UV light.

Spray a piece of scrap and leave it outdoors to check/monitor fade. Most fluorescent paints fade very quickly when exposed to sunlight, they tend to fade drastically, ending up basically white with a slight tint. A UV-resistant clear coat should help prevent that.

New to the forum. My Name is Richard from Omaha Nebraska. What brought me to your site is that I purchased a Rascal kit from GPS. I bought the kit for $895 couple days ago and arrived today. The only problem that I have found so far Is the screws on the riser kit for the handlebars are to large to fit in the pre drilled holes on the fork. Went on their site today and noticed a huge price jump on the same rascal kit at $1305. Looking forward to exploring the site more. I will share more pictures as build evolves.

For me, I wouldn't worry much about that. My bikes are all garaged and don't see much riding time anymore.

The good thing about minibikes is stripping them down to the bare frame takes 20-30 minutes and then you can easily get some fresh paint on them.
