Nice. How did you prep it and what did you use for paint?

wire wheel, then degreased it with diluted simple green. finally wiped it down with alcohol and then primed with a high build primer. paint is a Dupont bc/cc setup

oh yeah and with the simple green solution i used a red scuffing pad

How many layers of paint? Looks like you dipped it in and let it drip dry. It looks great!

Thanks guys! :metal: I have been thinking about stripping the frame/blasting and painting it also, but I'm really leaning towards powder coating.

on the rearend I used 2 base & 2 clear coats. I wish I would have taking before pics that thing was nasty! :lol:
