To paint or not to paint ?

[gmac]

That is the question !

The pics actually flatter this f/f a bit, cos it's covered in chips and scratches. I'm in 2 minds wether to have it powder coated and re-decalled, or just leave it alone. Most of the decals are lifting or mullered, but there is no actual damage to the frame or forks. I've got most of the original components for the whole bike, and I will have plenty of other minty minters by the time all my other 'projects' are finished, so   ...  do I make it look pretty again, or leave it a bit manky, and looking used ?

probably didnt want to hear this but mint it up dude they look so nice redone

[Nosnod]

Leave it as is if it is going to be a rider, otherwise a defo repowdercoat job 

[OrgasmDonor]

powder coat it and then use it, thats what they were made for dude

[theRuler]

white touch up pen maybe?

that'd do.

its a nice frame though, and deserves the inspector and some fresh paint

[gmac]

Bit surprising that. I thought you'd all be for keeping it original.

Anyway, my nextdoor neighbour's son came round just now and scooped up all the stuff for powder coat, and he's taken that too. So the decision has been made for me 

He also took a Mongoose Cali f/f and bars by mistake as well, so I think I'd better give him a bell 

[theRuler]

it'd still be original with the same colour and fresh decals!!!

[wirewheel]

look forward to seeing it again, nice.

[ORB]

I would leave it be. 

[stuntmaster]

mine like yours and i would say worse condition and keep it that way as original .too many haro`s have lost there original paint .

[showtime]

i woulda said keep it original as all your other bikes will be minters, but seeing as its gone off for powder already then minter it is :santa_afro:

woulda been a fair bit cheaper to get all the bits in used rather than mint condition tooŽ

[stuntmaster]

here`s mine in unrestored love

[JAY]

OH NO!!  , can't believe its gone to be powdered , should have left it i say  :santa_sad:

But whatever , your choice , good luck with the restoration mate......

[gmac]

Change of heart, I rang my mate this evening and saved it from the blaster. So it'll be coming back to me as it left, and getting built up using the original parts.

[showtime]

Yay


you gotta love a "Survivor"  :santa_afro:
