CL360 exhaust, Primer, and Finally some Colors!!

Alright so after having a prolonged hiatus I have returned to my dutys as blog master with much to talk about. First, I finally got the cl360 exhaust pipes in and for 50 bucks and what its gonna cost to paint and wrap them, it was a steal!

I also managed to do a final clean up of the frame and I got the wheels to more or less shine. Now yesterday I took some time and prepped a whackload of parts for painting, it was raining out so I figured there was nothing else to do. Today, I went out and bought a can of Dupli-color Engine enamel. One low gloss black and the other Chevy orange. The result has so far been fantastic! I am really happy with the way the orange came out, especially since it was almost neon when I was painting the parts. The only problem I had was that the spray can says to bake the parts at 300 F. So after talking with my folks they allowed me to use the oven in the kitchen (dont ask WHY they let me use it, I know I wouldnt let my kid do that). With these pieces out of the way, I am now left with the frame and gas tank and engine side covers to paint, the exhaust needs fixing up, the front brakes need rebuilding and new tires and its more or less ready to ride. I make it sound so easy, but in reality I spent 8 or so hours outside today just painting! In the end it will be worth it (I think).
