1) im gonna be getting my frame painted. Its almost like powdercoating but instead the paint is a lliquid that is baked on. SHould i do red frame w/ blue arms and red plastic or blue frame and red arms and red plastic. and ill do the hubs the same color as the arms.


2)when i go to get this painted what should i do about prepping the frame, like the bolt holes, wll they be ok if theyre painted?? what about the hubs, is it ok if paint gets inside of them? and the swingarm where it bolts to the frame should i get a bolt to put through there so no paint gets in there?


Thanks i hope all of you can help me out :confused:

get a bunch of corks to put in all of the holes, like they did on a rim on the tv show orange county choppers:devil:

Color scheme is a personal thing IMO. It doesn't matter what the rest of us think.

If someone else is doing the painting ask then what prep work needs to be done. They should know. Putting bolts in the holes seems like a better idea but I wouldn't screw them in all the way, leave some threads showing. I would think there would be less chance of the paint peeling off the exposed areas when removing the bolts.

If you want to use cork you might find them at a craft store or hobby shop.
