Got me a little paint booth put up and got my frame primed and painted. Turned out pretty good overall. I will be painting all the other sandblasted parts as well within the next couple of days so making good progress so far. Here some pics.

The frame in primer with SPI Epoxy Primer, 2 coats. Layed down great no runs and great coverage. I used my Devilbiss Finishline gun with 1.8 tip for the epoxy.

And here it is in flat black. Kirker SS Hot Rod black (flat black), used the Devilbiss Plus gun with a 1.4 tip for the paint. No runs and I put on 4 dry/medium coats to help achieve the flat black look. Turned out pretty good, cant wait to see it under real light to really see how it turned out. I know in some of the pics it looks like it didnt cover all the way but its just the way the light is reflecting from the camera.

A little timeline of the frame.

Then sandblasted after being completely disassembled...

Should be alot of fun when I get all the other misc frame parts done and get it all put pack to get together. Finally no more dirt and grease lol.

Well I finally got the small frame parts painted silver. They turned out great and I couldnt be happier with it. Primed with 2 coats of epoxy then painted with 2 coats of SS Urethane. Very nice finish and feels great to do it all myself. I still have to have my kingpins pressed out and get my 9 inch cleaned up and then I can prime and paint the rear end and I-Beam setup as well. Here are the pics.

Thats it for now. Should have some more new parts in the next few weeks from summit so I can start putting the frame back together.

Thanks for the kind words, no problem, I love posting pics of the progress. It helps keep me going when times get tough in the build. There will always be plenty of pics in this build. Thanks again.
