So are you going to paint the plastic?

Posted by: ThrashAndCrashUntilItsTrash

no it did not...I did not know if you planned on trying to buy color plastic.........plus I talked to Spanish Lake Body Shop here in St. Louis(they paint Budweisers race cars) He said that you can not put enough flex agent in it to make it last! that is why I was asking

Hello, We are new to the forums. We just picked up 2 project 85 200x's. We bought em from a guy couple cities away and we got a good deal. We are gonna completely rebuild the motor in one(Still need motor for the other one). We are doing everything completely new. Were gonna rebuild the frame and everything first. The last thing that will be done is the engine. We need help on the them. We both have different paint schemes on ours. The look Sean is going for is the LT250R blue and yellow. I am doing Black/Orange. The bikes are gonna get the start tommorow. We are going to tear them apart and redo it all. Well if you have any help or ?'s please email or just post a reply. Thanks!

Sean's is gonna be a Blue Frame with yellow plastics and i got the blue 200x seat and chrome rims i am also going to have the swingarm dipped in chrome.

Brandons bike is gonna have a bright orange frame and the plastics are going to be black along with a orange seat and black rims.

Just got everything off of the bikes today and tomorrow we are going out to buy the paint to start after we sand them.
