Spree wheel paint opinion

Post by Guitargraham »

A rough version of a paint job I might do, I'm getting a wheel that isn't bent soon, thought I'd try out this paint job for fun. What do you think?

Yeah, I'll paint both, I just wanted to get an opinion first. Should I paint the Drum on the other side too?

Love it! I may do mine like that now...
Black 85 Spree-SOLD

Red 87 Spree... Ended up buying the same one mentioned below.

I started riding my uncle's 87 Spree at the drag strip when I was 8...

It's easier to stop caring three years ago than it is to fix it in present time.
