lollypop red.....with a clear coat that has the prism in it.

So it actually goes like this ,,,one coat near chrome, two coats of lollypop red and one coat of clear.

the real color in low light is like the close up of the weld.
every angle has a different color it seems

well the skies are clearer,,,,,but the fire danger is still extreme.

The funnything about the color is that it isnt supposed to be orange,,,,,,,,,and in person it isnt but you know how the camera affects the colors a little.

#7,,,,,see you soon;)

i hope everything is up to standard when you get here,,,,,,,i feel like a idot all nervous and stuff........:o :rolleyes:

Chris,
VERY VERY nice work!
I'm wanting to get my frame PC'ed like a jet black, but it there anything special you can do to it? Like red prism? That would look SOOOOOO sweet on my R!
Could you possibly do anything like that? PLEASE lmk if thats possible and what is a ballpark $ figure.

LMK when you get my stuff in, it should be there tommorow, if not, then the next day lol

yes, I'd luv to see some better pics.
But are those sparkles Red? They dont really look like it. The more (and bigger) sparkles the better.

CW, got pics?

lollypop red with out the clear..........

i will have some tomorrow,,,,,,,,but it is my side cases for my 310 and it is over polished aluminum so it will be brighter than over a near chrome powder.

As far as the red sparkles go.......they are real small and i dont think that they will show up real well. However i will be powdercoating all day tomorrow and i may do a test piece with the mirror black and a clear with red sparkles over it........

Thanx again!

Sounds like you've got your hands full.
Does the swingarm look to be in mechanicaly good shape? The factory welds looked a lil' crappy to me.

on a preliminary inspection the welds look good........but the swing arm pivot bearings werent the greatest.......hope you planned on replacing them .......since you are doing a rebuild i figured you would replace them.:huh....you should now;)

I will probably have the swing arm done this weekend,,,,,and i will put up a pic for ya;)

Ok kewl, yea I've got new bearings, seals, and bushings, and will need to get the two long bushings also cuz I have to cut the swingarm off (After my dad cracked the frame beating on it, after I told him to stop 4 times...)
thanx chris
