Freestyle quadangle resto / makeover

(1/3) > >>

threaders:
Hi chaps.
Got this lovely freestyle quad of energiza a couple of weeks back and owe him a big thankyou for keeping it for me despite many offers at MK13

I really wanted to do a red. black and gold build, so bought it in mind of getting it re powdered in red. It came back from the local powder coaters a couple of days ago, but unfortunatly, they wern't able to do a close match to the candy red I wanted and so I had to go over it with some of this stuff from the bay :idiot2:
 
It came out ok and it definatly darkened up the red colour a bit and the stuff dries within a couple of hours.. No match for a proper candy red or for a professional job by SBD, but for a rider, should be ok for now :D
Here she is drying in the kitchen ;)

I gave it a whole can of canbrush, and like a say, two hours later and some magic from del:

I am not 100% on the colour, but decided to carry on with it anyway, with the veiw to getting it ridden and then done in a proper candy red later on down the track. I have most of the parts now except a pad set, but here is a pic with a few more parts:

Will do the rest tomorrow :) Please add your comments and let me know what you think, good or bad ;)

TORKER mick:
very nice :daumenhoch: but the landing gear sticker is on wrong :-[

threaders:
I know, I got over excited and rushed it :D

TORKER mick:
are they my old bars? ???

scoff:
I like that colour, waiting now to see the rest of the build? Don't rush it and put something else upside down. Haha.
