paint my trike

[bigjoey38]

I am looking at painting my trike and looking for advice or suggestions ..

Here is what I am thinking:

I will try to explain from front to back:

rims- I am thinking about red or black color ( the rear has drum so if the rim goes black the drum will go red.)

Anything in green color will be red.( to include rear fenders). The wood I will paint black..

The aluminum on the floor will be painted black ( and the green brake booster black to make it easy)..

Th rear of the bike aluminum will be black and the lights have a plastic green seal they will be painted red.

Now the front fender paint it red

Once the wood is painted I can do some type of red graphics.




Let me know what you think or what u would change

Your trike is one of a kind , I expect that what ever you do it will stand out.

Leave the green and don't paint the aluminum. Paint the wood black and put flames on that sumabeotch-it will be perfect!ThumbUp

Great Idea... I have a brand new spoiler fin that would fit it...if you pay the shipping, I will send it to you for free. I bought it a few years ago for a project and never used it. It is brand new and primer grey-ready to be painted....it is 48 inches long, the mounting arms are 16 inches apart, and it stands about 6-8 inches above the trunk lid. The pic is very similar to the one I am offering you BigJoey! I think it would look badass...seriously!ThumbUp

Joey check out these pinstripe decals....they have other styles, but sumpin along these lines would look nice on your trike and finish it off! They are not a bad price and look pretty good. I have put these on sevral bikes and some people think it is real pinstriping...easy to apply as wellThumbUp

Just keep in mind that if you run the "Batmobile" logo....you will have to buy a cape and bat ears...there is a lot or responsibility that goes with it!!!!!!!!
