What frame color is this? I think it is the graphite grey but not sure.

Graphite grey is on the 12's, you have the other grey I don't know the name

You ever do business w/ ASB? I shot them an e-mail, told them my bike model and what not and that I wanted the buell specific frame paint. It was $20 plus shipping but the color is spot on! I highly recommend them

Wow Jake, that looks really great. Yes I do buisness with ASB, I just ordered some wires from them. I will send Joanne the info and get my paint. Thanks for all the help guys, I love this forum!

Did you have to repaint the WHOLE swing arm? I have a few spots i want to touch up but its not bad enough to have to paint the whole frame or swing arm. I do understand having to repaint the whole think tho.

If they have not shipped the item yet you can e-mail them and they will add on to your order. Really great guys!

Did you have to repaint the WHOLE swing arm?

Nope not at all! Just the areas that were jacked. Blended perfectly IMO. The ONLY way you can tell is where I spend hours sanding out the road rash and that area of the swing arm is perfectly smooth as opposed to the crinkle set up that all the frame parts have from the factory. But even with that difference you have to be 6in from the swing arm to even tell.

Ohh and OP. I really dig all the color contrasts on your bike!

Thanks. I had a guy back into my bike about a month ago, it broke the left side foot peg, clutch lever, shift linkage, and put some scuffs on the swing arm. So, while it was at the shop I had them powder coat the rims, and I had a few extras put on. Including bar ends and axle sliders.

how did you apply the paint?

 

[jakestolar]

Just like rattle can paint. I did not use a primer/base. Just several light layers
