My brother sent me his show frame since he doesn't ride anymore, so I strip the original chipped paint to it's bare aluminum.  I usually do paint and body work on Cars but I aways wanted to do a frame so here is my chance. This will be my second Show and I know it's a little excessive but who cares. Comments and sh!t talking are welcome.








So far no Cracks!!! it's good to go

Masked off the BB and HT and sanded it down with 400 grit.



Primered it with a 2 stage catalyst primer and wet sanded it after.


Now for the paint!!! Blaze Orange metallic.  I'm also a honda freak so I picked my favorite car color.




Base coat


finishing with 3 layer of clear( hopefully, it wont weigh it down too much)





More too Come
UPDATED 11/23 I couldn't help it but I wanted to ride so I put it my bike together without my new spocket.



ARES U.S plastic bottom Thank You Scott O. for getting these for me.

Me riding in 2002:

 

man that show looks so nice in bare aluminium...
The orange is also nice, but I love the look of mat aluminium

nice job

peace

Nice, I've got a few shows and love the way they look.  Good luck finding any Factory Decals if that's what you're looking for?

  Nice orange color to, I bet the photo's do nothing for the actual sparkle to it..

very nice job, color and all.

just can't believe you left your car in the same vicinity of painting your frame?
unless its just a junker? just wondering
