A little DG happy on the bike aren't ya? hehe kidding man it looks good.

Black would look nice.. or red Maybe?!? It would be hard to get the same yellow as the plastic.

And paint probably won't last very long, specaily on the A-arms. My advise is to powdercoat the frame if you want it a different color, and well, hum, I'm not sure about the A-arms. I had painted them on an old bayou I had and it didn't last, it looked terrible after a few rides.

I think a red frame looks great with the yellow plastic. Check out Steve Abbotts (quad central) 440 or 450 in Dirt Wheels from about 6 months back. I looked at it over and over when I was thinking about doing my frame. He's got quite a bit of chrome on it too. It looks awesome!

yeah you gotta powdercoat the frame. i tried painting my LT frame and it all came off. the coolest powdercoat i have seen is mirror black with prizm powder. some guy on the forum here has it. it looks sweet.

EDIT: serioulsy......you can add the prism powder to any color but dark colors and translucents work best.....
