Subframe game




Coating


I stripped the sub frame and cleaned up the rust hiding under the shit paint. Then coated it in undercar spray its kinda like a rubbery coating thats rust resistant i'll porb hit it with paint just to try n match it up with the rest of the bike. Its not really that big a deal as its all hidden with covers anyway.

My day off im getting shit done.


Can you seize it? Moped humor at its finest i know.


Its wicked nice outside today so i took a few quick pics of the freshly painted frame so you can seez the flake.

Fun with paint

I agree i need a paint booth but i dont have that, what i do have is a side lot and some spray paint. :(

For the frame i used Rusto Black Midnight Metalic. Keep in mind these are just the first coats i have about 3 more to do then clear em.

The frame looks about the same so i won't post pics of it.
Now on with the paint. I wanted to keep the colors simple, for the rear rack tank and a few other little tid bits im using Rusto Oil Rubbed Bronze Metalic.


I got more done today than i had anticipated so that was pretty rad. i finished stripping the frame and tank of old busted paint.

UPdate right before i go home.


Much much better i think hugs the bar, looks clean and even helps with vibration.
Ok prob not that last one but still.
No its not my mustache is a peace of door strip i had laying around.
It should do the trick.
First we cut...yes im aware of my lack of nice even cutting skillz.
We'er gonna need to try n pretty that up a bit.

I got my hands on a cutoff wheel and grinder so i went ahead and fixed that rear rack/top tube issue.

Moped parts aint free kids!!
