here are a few pics to show you how i did my frame

here is the frame right before i took the paint off

in this pic i spray Aircraft paint remover on the paint. just let it sit for a while then spray it off or scrape it off. you'll still have to sand off some parts but the spray saves a lot of time.

then i used some metal shears to cut out some sheet metal to fit and cover the tank. since i don't know how to weld or have access to a welder, i used jb weld to stick the sheet metal to the frame

it looks messy but you can sand the jb weld once it's dry

heres the other side

after the sheet metal was done, i used bondo to smooth it all out

 

[noe_from_texas]

sand it then add more bondo

 

[noe_from_texas]

keep adding bondo and sanding it till it's smooth

then here are the steps i took for the paint

of course you need to do the primer first. after i did the primer i painted the whole frame a flat black because i wanted to do some patterns on it and needed the base colors to contrast to bring out the different colors. then i taped off some very simple patterns on the frame

after taping the patterns i painted the whole frame silver so it can bring out the metallic green that i was gonna paint it.

the second pic shows when i took the tape off. by having a bright silver and black base, the patterns will show better

then finally i used a dupli-color emerald green metallic with some dupli-color clear coat and here is the end result :biggrin:

this is the first picture i took of my bike once it was done. man posting these pics brings back memories, i feel like doing it all over again :biggrin:

 

[noe_from_texas]

and finally here's a clearer pic of the bike with a few new things. i hope these pictures help

 

[noe_from_texas]

no problem, and yes, you can find jb weld at places like wal-mart, home depot, auto zone.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

good advice, do one side, clamp the sheet metal to the frame, leave it overnight, then do the other side. if you leave it on there without clamping it, it will move
