Im about ready to start my winter rebuild, and i cant decide on a new color scheme. im probably going to keep the same plastics and hood though. and since the a-arms, and swingarm powder coat is pretty fresh, im going to keep those the same too. MY thought was if i do a red frame, it will be like everyone else's. i thought maybe like a black frame and red accents? i dont know!!!!
Things to be powdercoated:
frame
bumper
nerfs
subframe
i think thats all??

Your plastic is kinda bad looking get some Plastic Renew. Trust me it works better than you would ever belive. I started out with the 400 and worked it in with water. Then went to steel wool. Put about 2 coats on and went over again with steel wool and the put another 3-4 coats on. If you do this get a paper towel to apply it and fold it in to a 1half by 1half inch square. Pretend the parenthese are the edge of the paper towel and the line is the plastic renew formual. [\] then drag accross the plastic. While applying a little pressure. This is how I got mine to shine like new, or you can paint them. I wouldn't get n e thing pc'ed red. It would be too much red on the bike a gun metal would look good, or a black chrome like the hmf pipes are done. Here is a picture of the black chrome.

I would go all black with red plastics.
Black frame, subframe, bumper, bars, aarams...


And red plastics and red accessories.
