the bike looks awsome.

[mcinfantry]

[I_FLY_LOW]

i like the smooth sheen you have on yours...
most of the real military ones I've seen are green...
I'm fine with either... just would like to see a cleaner finish on er'...

[mcinfantry]

my .02
flat colors are hard as hell to get grease off of.
mine is whats called "semi'gloss"
its not shiny, and its not flat. no military vehicle would have been gloss.

the above painted bike is CARC, and its flat. its a "little" easier to clean but its a 2 part paint that is EXTREMELY carcinongenic. i wont touch it.

anyway, you can pm, or email me ltalessi@mac.com, and lets set up a date and price....

[I_FLY_LOW]

what makes it so dangerous? is it a super heavy duty mil spec paint or something?

I do like the way yours looks.
What did you do yours with?

[mcinfantry]

carc is "chemical agent resistant coating" its made where if a military vehicle is exposed to nuclear, chemical, or biological warfare it can be cleaned, it also has a low ir signal. its expensive, and unable to be used without a fresh air respirator.
it also is not a smooth finish. all modern military vehicles are painted in it, we at least since the 80's
i used gillespie USMC semi gloss.i like the paint... theres lots of colors

[I_FLY_LOW]

hmm...
I had talked to Ben about a wrap.
I was thinking about a digital camo scheme, but if I went the paint route, maybe a solid, like yours, or a subtle camo...

[mcinfantry]

if the paint isnt durable im going to do a digital wrap.... BUT this is my favorite vehicle color

Man, I really like that!!!! I've been thinking about getting some new graphics for the KTM that have a military theme to them.

This might be a better route. Hard to do?

[mcinfantry]

no, not at all. took a couple hours....

[Swampy]

Phil... For the record... I can do better paint job.. .It just wasnt a priority that day... LOL...

If you decide to paint it instead of wrap. Let me know .. I can do whatever you want...
I painted this truck.. (my old Dodge ram 50 4x4 )

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v122/swampboy/IM002756.jpg
I didnt bother trying to get the dents out.. It had a really shitty paint job and I didnt like it... (I was going to Zebra it to... LOL)

I painted my Jeep...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v122/swampboy/IM003013.jpg
(the only pic I could find fast.. See the Little dodge in the back ground..)

I painted this 4 wheeler...

Very nice, that looks USMC hardcore and awesome.

http://gallery.me.com/ltalessi/100190/IMGP1242/web.jpg

I'm really thinking about going for this look.

Just only wish I would have known this sooner. I would have ordered a different color helmet,,,,,that would match and go perfect.

I got the flat black one, which still rocks
http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c235/blkhalo996/RM%20Photos/RMDSC01078.jpg

But it's offered in flat green, also you can go for the full motocross helmet also.

[mcinfantry]

if/when you want to paint, i have a BUNCH of USMC green. in shadows and at night it looks flat black, you REALLY need to see it in person. i dont like the light greens or OD (they are too brown)

Sorry for the out of focus, I didn't realize the lens was set to manual focus, at first.

One of the reasons for this bikenite, is to help raise money for the American Heart Association.
To do so, they have a section of the parking lot roped off for a select few bikes, to be entered (free of charge), for a light hearted bike show.
The way you vote is, they place a jug in front of each of the rides.
You drop money in (whatever you wish to donate) and the bike with the most money donated, wins.
Tonight, the gentleman with the Harley MT500, Willie Stephens, won.

I pass by there on my way home from work every Wednesday (work is across the street) and I would have stopped if I would have known a COOL H-D was there!

[I_FLY_LOW]

From what he said, that's where most of the miles he put on it, came from...
Riding it to and from that bike nite.

[mattc]

That's actually sorta lame.. haha.

Post up if you or anyone is going to go to that bike night, I'll stop by on my way home.
