Yeah it s a Zundapp indeed, but this one is staying stock, sorry.. It's an all original 3 speed hand shifted CS50, original paint and i have it since i was 16, so it's sentimental i guess...
But i am looking around for another one to make a cafe racer so i need one in bad shape to make a gem, a 4 or 5 speed GTS or KS because it has a better stance, and watercooling and disc brakes, so its better built for speed..
Something like this..

it would look so cool, really low, flatblack, no fenders
But...
First finish this build off

Very cool that you got it when you were 16, my first scooter when i was 16 was an air cooled Peugeot Speedfight 1. I tuned it superdutch style and even put neon lights in it haha. It sounds like you already thought a lot about how you would customize the Zundapp, good luck finding the cheap project bike. I always wanted to buy a Puch Magnum and do it something like this.. Sorry for the sidetrack, back to the buildoff!

So yesterday i started on my wheels, taking them apart for painting the rims and polishing the rear hub.
I decided to lace my front wheel with the dynamo hub because i wasn't sure about the spoke lenght i needed...
Thank god i did that cause when i was lacing i found out it was a 32 hole hub and i have a 36 hole rim, i'll try to find a 36 hole hub that looks cool but i think i'm going back to battery powered lights...

Ok finally the weather allowed me to do some painting
Started with my rims for trying if my colors match
Started with brown orange

I taped of 2 lines and started with the wild willy green

Waited for 30 minutes.... grr.. patience young grasshopper...
Pulled of the tape...

And there you go!

Some feedback on the colors is appreciated

While waiting for the paint to dry on my rims i started getting the paint of my fender and chainguard that im planning on using..

Gotta love paintstripper!
The fender had skirts ont that i removed and the holes will be filled with copper nails or whatever theyre called in english

So now back to scraping paint....

Nice work on the wheel hoops, looks good!
The copper rivets will be a nice touch on the fender...
