Nice work Buddha, love the blue on the dash panel.

Now a bike with that color tank and random items along with some gold anodized pegs, bars, rims ,sprockets and chain

Looks Great!

Do you have to use special paint so it will flex?

The shock spring ??? the factories use the same damn thing ... it will flex plenty ... so I guess yes.
Cool.

I can do this to a shock for $25. Any shock any color on any component. Fluid column is painted, the rest is powdercoated. Pop open and re fit it. I'd say $20 for powdercoating and painting, $5 for opening it and fitting it back. I cannot match or do a too specific color, and I cannot work in a schedule at this price, just a round trip to the powdercoating place will cost me more than the entire $$ I am charging. The prices are also for single color. Duals will cost more. Sprinkles/flakes etc etc are also possible. I did black with gold dust on my virago. Turned out great.
Cool.
