I would call Spider Works in Edm. for a quote they do gel coating and are good from what I seen or try and do it your self with auto paint but it will not stand up as good. In my opinion it will be a patch job with auto paint. You have to think of the amount of money you will invest in it, if it is worth it to do it either way.

I stripped everything down, and we are getting ready to prep the body for paint... I was wondering which one woul look better? I actually like the black and bottom green... If you have any better paint job styles do post it, (nothing pinstriped tho)...

Well lets revive this old puppy! It has been almost 2 years o_O since I took the machine apart and did some body work! Had to call her quits because I was getting ready for Grade 12 and College! And well 1st year of college is just about done! So I'm ready to go hard on this project! I would like to thank GotBoost x100 For a.) giving me his spare left over parts and b.) for giving me the idea of buying a wrap for my ski instead of doing a custom airbrush! Story is I went back on ebay to look for the wrap that Gotboost shared with me and well I think the guy left planet earth hahaha! So I thought I was hooped! So For a month I sat down looking at a small saved image of the wrap and well started creating my own version of it! Took a long time but here she is! I have a huge heart on for the green one :)! Ill keep you guys updated!!!!!
