Painting

I've always liked that black and red hot rod look. Theres a few ways to do it well. First color choice if u want it 2 be really flashy u can use a mettalic black like PXR(chrystler paint code) brilliant black pearl and a cherry red try coat (pearl red with a candy coat over it). Scallops of red on the black look good but u need to accent them with a color that makes them pop like white or silver. Flat black with solid red (no mettalic) or pearl red also looks good. U can use mettalics with flat clear as well for unique look(mine is flat clear mettalic even the black outlines are pearly black)

I want the old hot rod look with the Flat Black and red and I think I am leaning toward doing the rims in black and red (Black rim, Red Spokes and Black center's cant decide gloss or not) but I also wanna do something with the paint and not just black with plain red stripes. Any advice or a price to do it?

Something like that including wheels would run about 800-1200$ depending on what u want exactly. could be cheaper if the desired look isnt super intracet the paint u want is cheap. I would suggest buying wheel powdercoated the color u want(like the cherry bomb ones) and using that red on your paint 2. Painting wheels is a real pain

Well at this point that idea is too late!!! LOL I already boght the extra rims (Silver) and the extra plastics (Gloss Black)!! Think I will just have to do it in stages!!! Wheels first, then plastics. I'll check those color's out though! Thanks

silver might work if u use enuff silver in ur paint job

Yeah its time for a bit of tlc lol... its all good:D

I am not using any silver what so ever Flat Black and Red only!!!! I have a good powdercoater that does good work cheap for me, should I have him coat the wheels a base color then have the rest painted over?

[BuellyBagger]

yep that'll work. I dunno much about powder coating i wonder if the can do a two tone?? that'd b slick as hell.

Wolf I dont know if your old enough but in the 80's there was a movie winner takes all and that bike reminds me of it!!! HAHAHAHA

flat and gloss colors together can get tricky depending on the graphix u want. There will be 2 different coat of clear on the top instead of one single outer membrane. But it can be done and only produce a very minor ridge between the to sheens of clear. (flat clear can't be sanded and polished so theres no way to knock down the ridge.)
