That's some nice color, it looks deep and smooth too.

Re: Project UberNaked RD400 Brat Bike
I had a 1991 Ford Mustang 5.0 and it had this color called Twilight Blue. Loved it. So that's what im gettin.
I tried white epoxy paint on my shock springs and I don't think it's going to cut it. I'll have to order some new shocks eventually anyway.
Frame is strung up from the ceiling with care, with hopes that the grinder will hit it and flare.

I said it before, but I have to say it again, that color is tits!
Hey brother, you will want to get all the paint out of that baring race on the lower tree clamp, having paint in there is no good, the bearings will grind it up into a paste mixed in with the grease and it gets messy in there! Best to just get it off.
Cheers!

Re: Project UberNaked RD400 Brat Bike
Well these are going to take a lot of work. I started with black polish and worked my way around. Just to get the surface crap off. Next brown tripoli then i'll hit it with the rouge. Once done i'll clean it all with mineral spirits and give ita nice blue paint job where there is black. Going to leave the ribs polished. I think it'll come out nice.

Chalk up another hack for dtt! The rattle can paint job fits well! I have a hacksaw here for ya, but it's probably too high a quality for alot of the hack jobs which seem all too typical here! And while you're at trying to fit in, why don't you tack some really lame, and ugly chic name to it.

Looking good Dirtbag. I would have to see that paint in real life though. I like the vid brother. Killer dwarf why did you even dignify the video by commenting. I mean really. Whats the point of telling someone else what to do with there own bike. Yeah we are all hacks and we like girls and rattle cans. If you dont like it then quit hanging out here. Sorry douche bag for jacking your thread too. Keep up the good work.

Not only that he's on the wrong forum. Perhaps www.oldcrabbyglorydaysmotorcycles.com is for you?

Love the Reservoir Dogs theme. I also love RD's. I used to be a purist, then I realized these are just mass-produced items for consumption and they weren't even made in my country. I'm sure there will be enough examples preserved in museums and the like, and also by guys like you apparently. The rest can all go under the knife as far as I'm concerned, and I never saw a stock RD that looked attractive to me. They have a lot of appeal, but very little of it is cosmetic imho. Keep up the good work, I'll be following.
