So i decided to spray my bike following the colour scheme and it turned out as i planned Smile

First time i've ever properly attempted to spray so you might think it's Naff or whatever but just thought i'd show ya.

So it went from this (look at the casing etc...):

To This:

And Also I sprayed the stand

Lookin good my friend, it's very... um.... red.
My only suggestion is to go for anodized bolts instead of painted

Well when you get some anodized, let me know how good the quality is and I'll use some myself. I've got a couple of places to use some at the moment Smile

Here i can tell you, they are shit! and are useless, do not ever put them on a motorcycle unless your tasteless and enjoy parts falling off, the bolts snapping and lots of time consumed by replacing them.

No, You can only tell me the ones YOU got were shit. The ones you got from a specific company that uses different materials.
If they didnt do their job, they wouldnt sell.

My probolt anodised bolt set is brilliant, they've been in and out a few times now without a problem. I do apply copper grease to the bolts every time now after the originals seized, but thats probably just me being over picky.

Im not sure I like the paint job, but each to his own I guess. I would have just gone for one colour, probably red to match the bike. Good job anyway, looks to be a nice smooth coat.

It will be cheaper and you won't look like a tasteless twat, anodized red is never "red" trust me...
And if it is red.....ish it wont stay that way for long, they just go pink.

haha. yeah, i think it'll be hard to say bye to it but it'll be amazing once i've got enough power to overtake a car without going slow enough to have a convo with the car driver Smile Takes about 10 seconds to over take a car at about 43mph hahaha.
