As above im kuwi mad

this is the frame i was gonna do my E.T with but cant find anyone to paint it for me
now i know your gonna say its a kyz or a hotheart but i would say more kyz n defo not hotheart

this frame has the exact same measurments as an E.T down to the last mm in everyway
ive compared it to loads of hothearts and kyz's and its not the same same from where im standing the gusset or frame structure looks different
but again is exactly like an E.T

now enough about all that the reason its up here is i need to do something with it ( NOT FOR SALE ) incase you ask

what colour should i go for throw me some ideas

cheers

What was the original colour (can't see the pics?)
I remember seeing a light blue one somewhere was that it?

oldskooldayz · « **Reply #2 on:** February 14, 2011, 03:49 PM »

Doh sill me forgot the pic

If your talking about this frame its not a Hotheart, ET or KYZ. It's a Kuwie KZ1, the ET and KYZ have a looptail backend.

edit. forget the above.

hows it stamped on the bb. whats the serial number and the forks are wrong

oldskooldayz · « **Reply #5 on:** February 14, 2011, 03:56 PM »

serial is defo T3 and yep the forks are wrong but i do have a set of trx for it

kuwahero · « **Reply #6 on:** February 14, 2011, 04:32 PM »

The fact that its chrome and is a T3 stamp suggest to me its a KYZ. ET's were stamped T2

These guys can do it for you. Ask for Neil they have done a few

This was my old one which was done by them

oldskooldayz · « **Reply #7 on:** February 14, 2011, 04:39 PM »

yeh i know rule of thumb T2 = E.T

still cant get it painted that way at the mo unless i find someway or time to do it myself but i know that wont happen for a long while
so rechrome or powder/paint it is

everyone choose a colour and the amount with the same choice will win and thats what i will get done ( except for pink,peach,purple,violet,or any other nancy colour you jokers might go for )

cheers

Gary72 · « **Reply #10 on:** February 14, 2011, 11:01 PM »

oldskooldayz · « **Reply #11 on:** February 14, 2011, 11:08 PM »

I toyed with doing one like this a few years back. New school race frame that never made it to production

oh that would be fantastic like a 21st century E.T but in black n white

now thats a top idea

If your going with the black and white theme you may as well do the Candy red white E.T Theme as the work envolved will be the same ..

very true i thought that myself, infact any two tone colour is gonna be the same work so maybe just have the rear done the same as its only masked off and have white forks $:-\$

I think this looks good

And this

Really like this too

stfc · « **Reply #19 on:** February 15, 2011, 05:22 PM »

Mate, get your frame/forks powdered in a single colour of your choice and you apply the white or what ever other colour yourself, its a piece of piss ... finish off with a coat of laquer over the area that you have sprayed ,would be best to get an air dry aerosol made up at a paint factor rather than a halfords rattle can ...

I'm in love with that black n White job

Got to be the way I go it's just stunning

oldskooldayz · « **Reply #21 on:** February 15, 2011, 05:52 PM »

I might attempt the White part myself as mention
Got to get me hand dirty I suppose

Cheers for the ideas peeps

Phil Fruits Black and white KYZ on tuffs looked cool , as above

Can't remember who did that blue and white combo one ,,but I really liked it

either of those , would look the bizz

Black into silver ( not chrome ) would also be nice
