Well, we got the fullbore ordered now its time for the powdercoating!!!!:blah: Im not too bright on the names of PC but it seems to me like the guy doing it uses a product called Primo?(may also be becuase its the name of his shop) We are going with fullbore Orange:cool: and would like a SWEET blue.Pappy, if you see this, I know Ive seen some of the blues you have done and REALLY like whatever color it was thats on Harlens ride!!!:macho
If anyone here has seen Fullbores Orange for the Predator, its somewhat Orange/rust in the sunlight looks like a hint of gold in the plastic....Whats trans. bule look like???..Any suggestions???We just had the gusseting done and its ready Also, I need some more suggestions on what to PC the AArms and Swing Arm..Im at a loss on this one.........:confused:

The blue was on Harlens Z:cool: .......Should I just PC the swing and AArms the same color ??? This guys colors are more basic, he has some Vein colors but I wont know until I get there,but I remember he doesnt have tons to chose from,and he will charge me an Arm and leg for anything too fancy.....:(

i would suggest silvervein for the a arms and swing arm and the frame blue. just make sure he uses a silvervein thats UV resistant or adds clear or it will fade.

yup thats bluevein i believe on his latest Z. the darker basecoat gives the translucent blue a much darker look. I like it alot.

i should be doing a few newer colors this weekend, Jeff's a arms should be the new gun metal color:D

I was also thinking..........What about a Charcoal color for the swing and AArms??? Ill be adding chrome tank piece from Fullbore.....:blah:

Pappy

yeah charcoal metailic is pretty sweet with clear. i really like grey/dark silver colors as they blend so well with just about anything. if i like this new gun metal i will be doing my persoanl frame in it.

It will look great when its done! Here is a candy blue frame with orange fullbore and some orange misc. pc work. His swingarm is polished and the upper arms are chrome. I really like when the lower arms match the frame and the uppers are chrome:eek2:

The color is a Ocean blue type of color, when it replects it looks kinda purple and blue depending how the sun/shade hits it :) I didint see the color Troy chose,but he said it was nice!!:blah: He still likes Trans. blue better,but when matched up to his seat cover, its not even close color:(
