Re: My Suzi T500 Project (The Build Up Begins!)

Gorgeous paint on the triples, I forget if you mentioned it before but, is it rattle paint, what brand?
 
Re: My Suzi T500 Project (The Build Up Begins!)

wow, just wow. This part of the build is the best, when all the parts start going on the last time and it becomes the bike you wanted it to be. This one will be killer for sure, those pipes rock.

The triples are actually painted with rattle can, it is Duplicolor engine enamel from pep boys. I have to cook it at 200* for an hour to harden the paint. I couldn't find the right color in regular enamel.

I would have to agree on the spring color but I'm sure you already have a plan for that ?

Haha! I knew I'd get called out on the spring. Orange is my favorite color and was my original choice for my tank and seat, but as i decided to leave them raw aluminium I had to get a splash of orange somewhere. I'll make my final decision on the spring when the bike is complete.

Being a KaTOOM rider I can understand ;)

Thanks! I might not be blitzing whoops on this one but I hope to beat up on some sport bikes at trackdays just like with the supermoto.
