The Chopper Compendium

I got some pics of my daughter and the chop my wife took today on the 4th of july at the family thing.

Building my paint booth time to paint this bike.

Will pick the color, break the bike down, and buy the materials next week.

what colors are you thinking?

Thinking blue with silver flake?
White pinstripes every where along the tubes and edges of the tank?
Flower lace the top of tank and fender?
Put the name on the side?

We will see how it goes. May change have not bought paint yet.

Considering the name , why not paint 'er up like the puta she is !! Lipstick red with all black detailing !!

Lots of glitter in the blue paint like a stripper with lace accents should fit?

Plus I want the insides of the i beams on other bike to be red? Have a blue, green, and red bike this way? Each different color?

Blue is a great color.

Edit, That is a fancy spray booth.

Candy blue with gold (or gold leaf) detailing with red pinstriping ! Lace sounds good too !

You've done such a great job already, I'm sure you'll find a fitting paint scheme.
Had some good suggestions too.

Beautiful booth, some might think it overkill, but likely you plan to do more bikes in it.

Ya going to paint all in it from now on. and
Thanks!

Got the bike broke down and materials for the prep bought. Got sand paper 80 to 1000 grit. Some degreasser and phosphate based cleaner to remove the rust. Labeled all the electrical connections and bagged and labeled all the parts.

you're a surgeon, LOL.

And the engine looks really good like it is, nice patina to it.

Thanks! thinking some Eagle 1 aluminum cleaner for the engine?

May even buy a engraving gun have a go at the side covers?

Sand blasted every part the will fit in my cabinet. Even got the fork legs in. Now only the frame to prep for primer

Been sanding the frame. It is ready for the phosporus metal etch to clean the rest of the way.

There are some good colors here.

I have no association with this company, but they have nice paint.



WHITE ICE PEARL from HOK. Put some in the clear topcoats.
