I TRIED primering my front forks but I could not fit it back in the trees so I was forced to go with a brushed metal look ha.

Nice build, and a great thread. Pics are awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you!


wow great work and love the finished product. really enjoy looking at the shot of the stripper reacting and bubbling the orange paint! super rad

Thank you! I love that product. So amazing to watch it happen..! I'll try and get a video the next time I use it. Cheers!
 
Looked like a fun and challenging project , came out great. Those rims with the spokes and spokes and spokes really add to the bike, along with the large tires. You were fortunate to get them on without any rubbing.
