ok, here goes. on thursday night, i decided to do the rit dye thing. I got a turkey fryer to continually keep the water heated, and used 2 garbage cans to soak the parts in . the result is this the bike looks good from the other side of the parking lot. i dont think that i used enough but even so, it had swirls So, after going and having a laugh with spiderman, i came home and did this.. finally, a couple of b-boy poses | ||

I think it looks nice. I used spikes instead of rivits for putting the chin back together  | ||

Sweet, Mookie. I can't wait to see it in person! | ||
| Mookie |
it may be a different color by then. I am really happy with the grey though. it gives me thoughts about the color when i get the full fairing. | ||
| Darthane |
How much was it? I'll have a 'spare' set of plastics when I get home that I'd be interested in dying. Not gray. Maybe something REALLY eye-catching for those days you just want to be an attention hog. LOL | ||
| Mookie |
oh wait, im leaving out part of the story. I went home friday and primed and painted my bike a different grey. its a solid color now. | ||
| Mookie |
besides, I dont think you have enough fake gold to move over to this side of telegraph. | ||

Bboys suck | ||
| Darthane |
Who said anything about WANTING to move to that side of Telegraph. My side works just fine for now. LOL Just keeping my eyes peeled for something to do with the blue plastics that are coming off. They've got some minor scuffs and scrapes from NC that could use some covering up when I get the inclination. | ||
| Mookie |
yeah but smoking weed and riding your bike is cool. | ||
| Mookie |
the dye wouldnt do you much good i dont think because they are dark allready. the paint came out good but its gonna be a little while to tell how well it stays. | ||

that last b-boy pose pic looks like you got hit in the nose and kicked in the crotch. perhaps i'm too old to "get it". what is a b-boy? not being sarcastic, really don't know. | ||
| Mookie |
np. just think of it as a hip-hop pose | ||

Welcome to my spell check nightmare!!! B-Boy def. Break Boy: Comes from DJ Kool Herc naming "Breakdancers" after a street terminology. The term has since evolved to incorporate all four elements of Hip-Hop. (break basically means extraordinary) the bike looks dope Mookie!!! | ||

Hey Mookie, what did you use for paint? | ||
| Mookie |
well we will see how it turns out but i used a plastic primer and then 4 cans of rustoleam and then 2 cans of clear coat. |
