[ShadowChillaGin]

[LERecords]

so what color are you painting.. black or silver??

 

[ShadowChillaGin]

Everything is geting painted black to match the frame....It will all be a flat/matte black :rockon:
Next are the rearsets black...the only shiny thing on the bike will be the scorpions :thumbup:

i had heard that if you have flat back paint, you have to take very special care of it so it looks good all the time.. like washing it with a specific soap and stuff.. thanks top gear

 

[ShadowChillaGin]

Its gonna be flat/metalic/matte I guess....the painter is going to match it best he can to the frame...as well as no gloss clear coat it

but yes, black has to be kept nice and clean!!
