That engine looks striking! How old is it? How did you get it sooo freakin' spotless?

At first I couldn't figure out why that engine looked so good (aside from the cleanliness). But then I noticed the blacked out Honda lettering on the case covers. Very nice--subtle but really sets it off...

The engine is actually spraypainted... I know alot of you are thinking that it'll look like crap after a few mud puddles or rides, and yes I agree that it will look like crap (hopefully not to bad).. But at least it'll look good for the pictures:devil: But if it does start looking bad, the paint is practically same as stock so it shouldn't show to bad, but only time will tell... And we used rust-oleum black on the side cases with a paintbrush.

i found it strange how close these quads are.. your engine is much nicer than mine though :macho anyway, mine used to have a black subframe, but i change colors quite a bit because i like to haha. its only rustoleum but i hope it helps to give you an idea.

heres a pic of my old bike, its not PC i spray painted it, with spray paint from dollar general (not kidding) and it held up GREAT beleive it or not, i cleaned up the frame and sanded it and sprayed it, it didnt peel or crack for the 3-4 months of woods riding it saw before i sold it. only a couple small chips on the a-arms
