Title: Haro Gen 1 with a twist
Post by: Darren KAP on April 07, 2012, 08:02 PM: Bought this the other month off Ian :daumenhoch: (Oldschoolib) when i got it , came with black alloy Tuffs , Haro Vector bars but i've got another project for them ;) as you'll see soon , it was powder coated black but to be honest like some blacks it just didn't shine good enough so i flatted it down and resprayed it in a 2K black along with the CW Freestyle bars then baked them in my low bake spray booth , The decals have had a little tweek as the writing is now chrome instead of white and the green is a little brighter .
the only NOS parts i've used are the green Z rims and Suzue hubs , green ACS brake blocks , Hatta head set , Sugino opc ,

Post by: LENNY-LENTINI on April 21, 2012, 07:37 PM: 'Ello Brother

One or 2 of creations have been a bit crazy of late.

But this one is back to form.

Fookin Killer in black (Haro should have made these). the decals are a good twist too.

Nice work Kapone.

Are you n crew coming to the Stag?

Keep the faith. L
