Destin, that looks awesome!!!

So when do you get to drop the drive train back in, and bring the frame home?

You happy?

Thanks man

Probably monday

Have to wait till the shop has a good window.

Paint is a little on the shinny side, but it is tough as nails.
Once a little dirt / road dust gets on it you will nit be able to tell

Looks great

I sooooo wanted to give my opinion when you were trying to decide what to do with the frame, but I thought that you were getting more than enough already.

In my opinion you couldn't have done anything but paint. If your going to the extent that you are on everything else may as well do it all right. Great looking rig. I wish I would have been more patient and fast-tracked mine as you have done. If you don't you get a bit

Looking forward to more pics as you get them.

Super stoked

Looks fantastic man! I am a fan of satin for the frames because with gloss, everything shows up, but I am certain this will turn out gorgeous. Nicely done man!

Thanks man

Def gloss is weird stuff

I can always wet sand it a bit if it bugs me i suppose
But truth be told once the body is on you will hardly see the frame

Looks like you found a great shop that knows how to git'r done!

Awesome. You'll love it.

 

[destin]

The paint shop guys rock.

The body bits will be really nice though.
That is where the pudding is

Cannot wait

Gloss should help shed road grime better?

I'm reaching, but maybe?

It lasts longer, and is easier to wash. Lots of coolness about it. . . I just like satin/flat black look on a frame is all. With a fresh paint job this think is going to look sick and when all said and put together, the frame in gloss will just be a detail. It just looks so gleaming becuase a)freshly done and b) well, there's nothing else on it at the moment.

Looking forward to the sexiness!!!!

Later dudes - Dallas

[dmaddox]

[wichitakid]

Frame paint looks great. I like the glossy look. It looks new Did they paint the axles and springs while attached to the frame, or did they pull 'em?

Looking great Destin. Haven't worked on mine all summer. Hoping that cooler weather and shorter days will allow me to get back in the garage to start working on my frame. Like the way the gloss looks in the pics, may consider that on mine...

 

[JohnnyC]

the gloss will go away after a few thousand miles

Looks Great

 

[Dobster]

Considering the thoughts and advice you got on the frame - It has come up a ripper!

Sensation!

Cheers Dobster
