Re: junkyard ross

where i'm at currently with the project... sitting at my new house awaiting assembly. i painted it key lime green and its going to receive the wheels and tires in the background. i snagged those off a donor bike i bought at goodwill for $5.00 :wink:

Re: junkyard ross

Nice color, Personally i'd go for some black scallops over it to really make it pop but that's just me.
 
Re: junkyard ross

That color is wild! It will look great in the sunshine. Looks great so far!

Re: junkyard ross

i was thinking some black and white accents actually... maybe checkered on the chain guard but not sure yet though. well thanks for the complements on the paint, i was unsure on how it was going to go over. i like it though and thats all that really counts i guess hahaha :lol:

Re: junkyard ross

Love it! Nice idea on the "paint stand". I knew what it was right away. I'm gonna try that.
