Guest human4m Posted February 18, 2010 #1 Posted February 18, 2010 They're not cheap, but they are killer quality. The flames on my 97 RS are painted in Prizmacoat, and change from Green-Blue-Purple. The paints are pretty forgiving too, 'cause I'm no artist, and it came out purdy! Check 'em out! http://www.alsacorp.com/paints.htm
Squidley Posted February 18, 2010 #2 Posted February 18, 2010 Cool looking stuff, I might have to check into that when I paint the '99
SilvrT Posted February 18, 2010 #3 Posted February 18, 2010 do we get to see pics of your scoot or what??
Guest human4m Posted February 18, 2010 #4 Posted February 18, 2010 do we get to see pics of your scoot or what?? It's a cell phone pic, so you can't get a lot of detail from it. I'll get some more up asap, as soon as I put the headlight back on.
Squidley Posted February 18, 2010 #5 Posted February 18, 2010 Holy hell !! you even have a sattilite dish on your handlebar...how cool is that !!

Bummer Posted February 18, 2010 #9 Posted February 18, 2010 Don't you always have to ride west for that to pick up a signal? The flames look pretty good too. I'm not sure if the prizma stuff is working, though. I moved back and forth but it stayed the same color.

I'm not sure if the prizma stuff is working, though. I moved back and forth but it stayed the same color. If reception gets weak, I just loosen the wingnut and turn it until I find the sweet spot...or fall off. Whichever happens first. If you point your monitor at a mirror, then shine a flashlight overhead while wearing UV-enhancing goggles in a pitch black room, look at the mirror from a 32° downward angle while standing in a kiddie-pool full of jello (with mixed fruit in it) on a tuesday during a full lunar eclipse, with semi-crossed eyes... Then you'll see the color change in the picture.

Iowawegian Posted February 18, 2010 #12 Posted February 18, 2010 :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: You guys crack me up!!!!! Nice paint job, I'd say you've got talent!!
kenw Posted February 18, 2010 #13 Posted February 18, 2010 Great paintjob! And you said your not very good at painting?

And on a more serious note, I'm looking forward to seeing some higher res pics of it when you get a chance. It's definitely worth a full spread in your Gallery.
Guest human4m Posted February 19, 2010 #15 Posted February 19, 2010 Well, my new Shark Radio came in yesterday, so I spent the small window of time I had (Between wife, kids, dogs, dinner, etc) getting them mounted and connected... I'm pretty sure I'll be able to get some decent pictures up tonight! (Assuming the wife doesn't have me putting together that new bookshelf she just got...and the dogs don't run away...again.)
Flyinfool Posted February 19, 2010 #16 Posted February 19, 2010 Awesome flame job. BUT That was a cruel cruel joke to post a link to the website for all of those wonderful paints. But some of them are up to $100 / oz. But I like them. Dang, here we go again.:mo money:

Guest human4m Posted February 19, 2010 #18 Posted February 19, 2010 A wise man once told me, "The cheapest part of riding is buying the motorcycle." Thanks for the advice, Dad. On a side note, all of the flames on the bike were done with 1 can. It's less than a $100 flame job, all-inclusive... In my book, it was worth it, otherwise I would've just spent that $100 on something silly like a radio for the bike... (which I will finish installing today.)
Guest human4m Posted February 20, 2010 #19 Posted February 20, 2010 I finally snapped a couple more pictures of the scoot, and posted them in the gallery... Pics really don't do the Prizmacoat justice...
