[Brake Pad]

Sling, this is from my e-mail.

Well it ain't white no more!!! I had the color matched on the bike and bought the paint----2 pints and hardener for the base colors. 1 quart of clear... Was all ready to do the painting.The paint booth became unavailable..

So I can not take credit for the paint job.. But let me say it came out great. I was also impressed at the matching of the colors.

Anyway the trailer is not road ready--It will be tomorrow!!

Here are a couple of so you can see the match..

I know the rules!

Hey Sling

Where did you get your paint color matched. I've got a little trailer I'd like to paint this winter.

I ordered a trailer and was told it would be here in 2 to 3 weeks..

Well it's been a week and a half, (seems like a month).. I only needed a

small trailer, so I ordered a Tag-Along http://www.lilthoroughbredtrailers.com/id2.html

 

So far, I took my bike to the paint store "Finish Masters" they took a little

computer out to the bike and came up with a color match I'm going to paint

the trailer to match the bike.

I fabricated a hitch for the bike pretty much following the design of others here.

Below are a couple of pictures of how it came out and how it looks on the bike.

Yes I know the bike is dirty but the weather here has been crappy.. It is hard

to keep clean.

Peggy and I are looking forward to using the trailer. It will make our trips a little more comfortable.

 

 

 

Did you make that from a step bumper mount hitch?

I went to the local paint store "Finish Masters" They use a hand held computer hold it against the original paint and it matches it. The colors are almost a perfect match.

(It still looks good)!

I found a receiver piece , made the gussets and welde it together Painted with the undercoating finish

Ya sorry about that, I saw where you had it done after I had posted

I'll have to see if I can find someone up here in the frozen tundra that does that.
