    Ok last night I painted my front rim red, I'm not sure how I like it. Just checking what others think before I strip it or do the back one.

    I`m with tdeville, it needs red pinstriping or some other red somewhere to tie it all together.

    I agree with you both, I'm taking off the side skulls though. The valve cover is going red, but what else could I paint? I thought of a pin stripe but where, and what design.

    Do the back rim, valve cover, and the Yamaha inserts on the side of the motor and call it quits.

    I agree with RcPriest. imho I wouldn't do too much more red than that. I just watched the newer Punisher movie. You did a pretty good job on that skull. The bike looks good! Keep being an inspiration.

    Thanks guys that's what I have been thinking about. More to be done later, I'm gonna take the valve cover off the 750 transplate motor and paint it red(will go in this winter).

    Man that looks Killer.
    I'd get some pinstriping paint and just put a single drop of red in each of the punisher skull's eyes.

    Aside from that, the only suggestion I have for you is to PAINT MINE TOO!

    I used krylon camouflage ultra flat black. A few layer's of it, and just the reg plain jane 99c walmart white, no clear just out there. For the rims 99c walmart red. I am going to fix the dents this winter and prob use a compressor and shoot the body work with auto paint. But I think the spray can looks great. Ease I like the red eye idea I may do that, thanx. Well thanx for the info and compliments I'll get to work on it mon or tue, and post some pics when done.

    I am thinking of doing some scallops on the sides of the tank. I finally finished the rear rim, I will post some pics tomorrow.

    I think the rear rim turned out good, I'm liking the look, more a retro
