Wowowowow what am amazing restoration. It's so nice to be able to see the process that the scooter goes through. AND for only $20?!?! What a steal of a price! What's your paint method? I'm assuming its not just a spray paint can kinda thing, looks really nice. I'm blown away by what you have turned this scooter into!

I am going to impound your bike ....Sheet Fuek this sucks I know whats going to happen next tow truck $245.00 go the next day extra $45.00 for storage
Well going around in circles with a dumbass cop finally got out of it ...

we get hassled because we live in a really lax scooter and moped law state.. That being said a bunch of tweakers and derelicts ride scooters that shouldn't be on the road or without a license. .. which brings heat on the people who ride scooters and mopeds because we want too and not because we have too.

I was thinking wear a white shirt and a black tie when I ride it and put some religious stuff
on it , It will be like the anti 66six .It actually looks good with just the white might even cover up the HONDA on the engine .
But thanks anyway ... check out the front cover decals on this front plastic horriable .... Also a pic of what the air box cover was going to look like .

came very close to molding this on to the air box cover  the mouth would have worked like a air scoop

Hello bfowler Thanks
As for the paint I did use spray cans because mixing paint and using a gun can get really expensive really fast $90.00 or more with the catalist for a quart and they hate to sell smaller sizes . I have a gun and compressor but I just like cans as they are fast and look just as good ,I did use some special paint and it was not expensive under $4.00 a can but it is hard to find I had to go to a place that sells steel I got some stuff thats made by AERVOE Rust proof Any-Way ....you can spray upside down and the paint is a bit thick so it fills in some of the small scratches and drys glossy and tough I also use Dupli Color for rims & frames It's a bit pricey $9.00 a can @ Pep Boys I also like some of the Rustoleum paints but make sure and get the high performance and professional stuff ... This also sounds goofy but I found some sanding sponges at the Dollar Store that worked out great on curved surfaces I was surprised and even went back and got more . :
I wanted to do some tests w/vinyl so I covered the top of the headlight housing to see how it would look and came out nice it's not as easy as it looks because you need to use a heat gun w/ one hand as your wrapping it around the curves to get rid of the wrinkles with your other . I always wanted to try to do a wrap over a whole scoot but like I said it's harder than it looks .
