my latest scoot and paint job

Post by mikeb »

paint is only half done - we're having a tattoo shop go to town on the rear plastics, but i've always wanted to do this to a scoot and i think it looks *. the future owner was present to approve and help out a little, so he is cool with it.

sorry for the crappy camera phone pic, i didn't feel like hauling out the old digi for this.

i'm pretty excited to see how a crappy razz can be turned into a moving work of art in about 30 minutes. i'll probably start putting more images/designs on the scoots that i sell in the future.

i've painted them with they krylon plastic paint before, but there are like 8 colors of that crap, so i moved on to duplicolor automotive paints. stuff works great and is waaay easier to wet sand and buff than other spray paint. i always use adhesion promoter before i paint and then spray it. seems to work pretty well as i've twised these panels and the paint doesn't come off.
