I did the frame in aerosol satin black hammerite but tbh its crap cos it isnt fuel proof.
It was just to see if i liked it in black, plus i was a bit smashed up at the time and couldnt strip it for powder coating.
Ive got most of the black off atm for a proper job.

Benny mate; looks the dogs in white that...............get some updated pics up bud when you`ve got it finished 
Re: white firestorm
I'm thinking about going with black frame and swingarm myself
And there is a nice paint that I think I'll use.
Honda had a satin black colour on some VTRs. Could look good I reckon and I suspect that it will be fuel resistant aswell.
Did you just mask the engine and other parts since you didn't take the engine out?

Re: white firestorm
er well mine will look a bit different next time it's reborn...
i decided seeing as the lights are garbage theres no point having them.
plus the standard fairing weighs a ton so it'll have a lightweight track fairing & single seat for summer
i'm keeping it white as i still have a load of paint left, but might stick a castrol decal kit on it yet... see how i feel when it's back together.
frame, subframe etc are getting coated proper in black - and the pyramid belly is going back on....
also, new casings, a bit more porting on the heads, .5 oversize 11.5-1 pistons, cans repacked etc... lots to do!
might do the airbox mod ive been contemplating too - ie, remove it & fit 2 k&n bellmouth filters instead lol ;)
been putting it off cos i love riding it, but as the sp1 is on the road ive got no excuse... apart from working on my ped as well!
& yes, copious amounts of newspaper / wallpaper for masking & grease on the shiny nuts & bolts.... wipe it off when the paint's gone off (when it stops smelling)

It's only a matter of time before it ends up as a rat bike, with a few skulls and old bones cable tied on, and him wearing nowt but a gasmask with red LED's in the eyeholes.
Bike in camo paint and rattle can matt black all over.
Seat sawn off and hoiked up at 45 degrees, and a bit of webbing instead of the saddle.
Funk follows form-shun, or something....
I'm keeping mine nice and standard, me; it's a future classic.

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Re: white firestorm
That looks very nice in white. The black frame tops it off nicely too.
