Had the idea of a ta back end with the frame in white.
Then a streetbeat front end in orange.

But i think i may just do it all white.... But the laquer job is just so cool.

Unsure at the mo

Painting that frame would take away most of it's character. Looks mint as it is and quite unique.

Do you like your ladies all tangoed-up in false tan with a bit of blue mascara thrown in for good measure.

Leave it raw pal, that shot of the lacquered rear dropout looks amazing.

Had a try with a few white bits, but think the frame needs to be white to work properly i think ,dels doing some new custom dirt bros. /skway decals for me so will see

Everythings put on loosely at the mo, just to see really ,theres few more things i may try yet.

why oh why?

Matt that is as cool as fook. I fooking love custom made stuff and this is in my top five ever favourite bikes for that reason.

Those decals are wicked. Del is a god amongst us - fact! I know it's your bike now but why oh why did you paint it white like every other bloomin TA on here when that raw lacquered finish was spectacular. Sorry bud, you had something special and now it looks bog standard until you get close enough to spot the difference.....

I like it in the White and the Decals add a touch of class to it too.

it would have been nice left raw and built with mid school parts.
it "was" a cool frame set

Can't Believe you did it in white Matt

Devilock · « **Reply #43 on:** February 20, 2013, 09:37 PM »

Oh Matt...!!

It was unique...

thebigdog · « **Reply #44 on:** February 21, 2013, 08:27 AM »

All advice taken in... the paint is over the laquer.

Ill get it blasted back and start again.

It does look cool in white but it has lost its mojo......I have another pile of parts here to try more dark & more mid, give me a few weeks.

Del !!

Kaner · « **Reply #45 on:** February 21, 2013, 09:25 AM »

The good thing is it is a totally custom frame and forks so you can do what the hell you like with it.

I like it white. Either way its a cool build and a true one off.
