Started doing this today. Got the bumper painted black and the front wheels black. The Nerf Bars and the back wheels will also be black. The hubs, muffler and heat shield are all painted white.

Would love to have the frame, swing arm and a arms powdered but to much work when I have no reason to strip my bike down.

If your not racing it, try to steer clear of any roost. It will chip that paint off just as fast as you put it on. Trust me i know.

Not to worried about the tires there gonna be changed out why I really didnt care.

Hubs are dif, I put a backing over them to paint as didnt want to spray the caliper and all that.

I took my time on the prep so hope that will help and I layered the paint as to not just be a single coat of spray and also layered clear coat over it.

Thoughs tires are just the stockers that is why there gonna be changed they work good and all but would like a bit better bite.

But I really appreciate all the "nice" comments. first time I been on here in awhile and ppl are still stuck up pricks. And yes it is 2008 we all know your pissed you couldnt afford to pick one up off the showroom floor but dont take it out on everyone els.

wow. I just shake my head in aw. Anyway, Take your time with everything it looks cool with the black dg front bumper and the white hubs. The rims look cool too. Finish them on the inside when you take your tires off to change them and hope that the machine does not take it all back off. The white and balck theme looks sick. Steve
