im not completely done with it, i still have to put reg numbers on it and clean the polish off the seat, and paint the springs, and do something about those silly red idlers

sweet lil ride

I think that purple paint job is really really cool.

Hope she has fun riding it this winter.

Rotaris · 12-02-2008, 05:24 PM

sweet ride, my favorite color is purple.
well a darker purple, but I was going to paint mine plum black.
not too sure yet so it will stay the same for now.

new paint job looks killer

I'd get some silver/grey idlers.

NYSledder · 12-03-2008, 10:02 PM

Looks a lot better than it did. No sway bar on those sleds or ???

pjabas · 12-24-2008, 11:03 PM

nope no sway bar, i ending up just blacking out the idlers, i need to remember to take pics of it on the snow

ill check with my painter, i don't know the paint code, but i know it has alot of multi color flake in it

1994 Formula Z · 01-16-2009, 01:01 AM

If yuo can find out that would be great, i dont want to know the code just know what kinda paint. Did you guys add flake?

dmbeard · 01-16-2009, 06:35 PM

What a great job, I also would like to know what the paint was. How is it holding up? What type of prep did you do prior to spraying? Love my AC sled but the green and black is starting to wear a little thin.

pjabas · 01-29-2009, 01:48 PM

i called my painter the other day, but haven't heard back from him yet, i think he was working on some harley tins,

once i talk to him ill find out and post up paint specs.

Holy sh%&!!! Did that cost you your first born or just 2 arms and a leg!!! No wonder it looks so good

dmbeard · 01-29-2009, 07:15 PM

WOW!!!! What cost more the sled or the paint job. Hope you had a good buddy paint it for you. It is one of the best paint jobs I have seen on a sled, but, I guess I will just have to get use to green. Thanks for the feed back.
