Title: Painted lowers...
Post by: ZG on August 11, 2013, 03:54:10 AM
I picked up a rashed set of lowers off ebay and a buddy and had em painted to match the rest of my bodywork...  :punk:

Looks the dog's swingers. Hope you do not get too many stone chips which you would in the UK with the rediculous way our roads are repaired (eventually!)

I'm having all the forward facing sections of the lowers clear bra'd, that should help to minimize rock chips. I also bought 2 of the middle front lower sections and had the extra painted as well, that way I have a spare now in the garage for sometime in the future if needed due to rock chips...  :smiley:

I've had a dozen + bikes over the years and they've all had painted lowers, rock chips do happen but it hasn't been much of an issue with my other bikes...  :wink:

Is that a badge engineered Fiat you have cluttering up your mates spray shop and acting as a contrasting colour back drop to that Dogs Boll**ks Green you and we all like?
