Thats going to look SWEET! We used that plastic color combo on my sons once and added black prism (courtesy of Pappy) to all the chassis a parts and it looked really good.

[john willhoite]

Cruise was awesome except it makes this 20 degree weather seem worse.

I thought the powdercoat would be done. That was wishfull thinking. It will be at least another week.

got the tires mounted.

[QuadJunkies]

We have always been fond of those tires. Excellent choice :)

[john willhoite]

The Powdercoating came back.
Now to start putting it all back together.

[john willhoite]

Has anyone painted hiper rings before.
The hiper yellow is pretty orange compared to the p.c.

[john willhoite]

Should look pretty cool.
The powder coated axle looks sweet.

[QuadJunkies]

I would ask Pappy on the PC .
