4 years of the old Krylon paint job. Time for a new facelift. Prepping for an amazing powder coat.

What color?

A new color I blended the other day. :evil:

Absolutely LOVE it! That will be a killer ride. This brings back really good, strong memories. About 25 years ago I took two bikes (one road, one mountain) stripped them down to their bare steel frames, had them powder coated as a matching set (a mixture of gold and black) and then built them back up with new parts. That was a super fun project. I'm sure you are having a great time doing this!

Can't wait to see the buggy porn.

Mmmmmm purdy. :o

that's going to look super sweet Jason.

Great color! See it at JIBE?

Sure is going to suck when you get the first scratch on it. But looks awesome!

Thanks guys. I coated her today. It's killer.
Have to get my new decals and put her back
together. Yes Ted, the Black Widow V3 will be at JIBE!
Can't wait.

Hey...I upgraded today as well.

I replaced the foam on my Libre.

Yours is cooler though.

Sharp color! Be sure to post pics when it is all back together!

Back together. No NAPKA numbers or decals yet. I dyed the two red stripes in the seat black as well. She's spooky dark now. Depending on how the light hits it, it's either a metallic black cherry color, or a candy apple red color. The color turned out just like I had planned by the mixing. I shot some samples last week, but until it's all together and blinging in the sun, it's a little guesswork. I like it.

She wasn't a bad looking ride before.

Jason, that looks Bad@55!!! Love it!!!

Shwing!

Thank you Sir!

Reminds me of "Candy Apple Red" - the color of all the hottest of the hot rods back in the day. Just great!!

Great looking work, Jason.

This is for Randy. Remember this little diddy?

Missed that one. I'm afraid the back in the day I was thinking of goes about 15 years (5000 days?) or more before that back in the day.. Guess I'm dating myself..

Wow, that looks really sharp! Great job!

Thanks much guys!!

Any chance it will see Va Beach?

Very nice

she's a beauty. That color reminds me of Prowler Purple. Chrysler put on their Plymouth Prowler. In the early 2000's. Very sexy color. It inspiring me to give the old Croozer a make over.

Jason, that looks sick! You will love powdercoating on your bug. My yellow was done at a local bike shop and I am really happy with it. The only place that has really scratched or worn down is where I put my feet because I don't have anything covering the footpegs. Everything else still looks like new. I wish I had access like you to that sweet cherry flake though. I would love to have some flake in my yellow.

Errol my first thought was; try drinking a lot more unfiltered beer

The paint job and buggy looks really nice Jason - it'll be a tough month and a half waiting to get it out on Jekyll. You should be able to get a really nice sunset shot of it on the beach

Errol's comments reminded me of a little side story on paint - last summer there were a few old cars parked the street beside the local friday market by the local car club guys. There was a Hudson (can't recall the model) with gold flake paint. there owner is well known character that had owned a Flea market junk store that was more of a museum of all kinds of interesting things. He's probably into his late 80's in age but was telling me that many years back he was at an outdoor auction sale when it started to rain and many left and he was buying all kinds of things cheap and filling his truck. He unpacked the truck a week or two later and eventually looked over a treadle sewing machine and found a couple of small gold bars in a drawer. When he was painting the car, he ground up the gold bars to mix with the paint and that was actual gold on the car - it really sparkled.

Now that is a cool story!

Thanks guys!

Yes Errol, powder coating is not bomb proof, but very very durable. It's actually a cosmic blue metallic base coat. Followed by translucent lolly pop red, with a clear top coat finish. Take a look at mine this JIBE. If you like it, I'm sure we can work out a powder coat for your ride. As long as it's under 10', I can coat it. Color options are endless...
