Isnt Bumper thicker though? I want to paint wiper arms, I bet a thick paint like bumper stuff wont work as well.

ill just get regular old tri, black. Or get creative with white wipers :giggle:

Im thinking to paint I should rough them up a little with sandpaper, then hit them with paint. I dont think I need to strip off what is already on

Do the SEM it's been tried and true! It's expensive for a reason. If not, I think you've got the right idea.

[5Toes]

Yup Ill grab some later this week

[5Toes]

Today I met up with John Parker (at his shop), James Criv, Luke, and some other guys

Rode in James' car... damn. Hahaha

All in all a great. day. It was my first time ever working on an engine, so I sort of dived in. But I did great. Enjoy

Nobody can dig it?

[ck_taft325is]

Oh man, I slept through it. Sorry man! Wish I had made it down.

[5Toes]

We called you! And your wife!

[KenC]

Bahahahahahaha

Darin and I painted and decorated the moped. James left it in Portland before the LeMons race. It seemed the only logical thing to do. We even dyed the seat white haha.

The brakes went out at the race, but I was fun to ride around the pits.

[5Toes]

Well listen to it now! Nice paint work by the way. Is it a honda or?

[KenC]

LOL nice. That thing is death trap.

[5Toes]

Nah, just gotta use your feet!

[KenC]

Nah, just gotta use your feet!

Doesn't work that well when you're riding downhill on the access roads at Infineon Raceway at 35mph. Ask Darin about that... or maybe he was too drunk to remember haha.

[KenC]

I should try to get the video posted up of James' reaction to see the bike in all its splendor for the first time haha
