thanks man. i realized i never made a thread over here. now colton is posting his so now i have to lol
 
Traded this awhile back and ended up trading back long story short I got it and the guy painted it and did a bad job. So it has motivated me to tear it apart to send to my painter. I plan on going with a purple with lots of flake in it.As it sits now.

yeah i had plans on paiting it before trading so this just pushed me to do it faster. i wanna try and have it done by lone star throwdown in feb
 
Got the new batter box, hardware kit, and radiator cover in so should be going to paint by next week..as it currently sits



Thinking of doing a pearl white and metallic purple combo

when my roommate had his we would ride around back roads all day. lately i would just ride it if i was going somewhere within a mile or so to run errands.
 
yeah lol. it is something fun to do to kill a couple hours that isnt expensive.

i also plan on taking it to LST to ride around on
 
dropped all the part off at paint yesterday so hopefully in a week or so i will have updated pics
 
I was able to get it back from paint in time for lst. Still have to do a couple small things to it but I think it came out good. The sun wasn't out that much when I took the pics but it's candy grape and pearl white












Before and after
