My rattle can paint job.
here are a few pics of my f4i.
the color is dupli-color (truck/van/suv paint) pewter.
its a race body, so i have fog lights on the forks and a led tail.
the cage is MXD painted by me.
hopefully everyone likes it. (probaly wont stay like this for long)

Looks dope, like a factory stunt bike. The rear tail plastics set it off right.

sorry if you spent over 5 bills on a paint job already but ive got a procedure to paint plastics where you can save the lube and **** rape the paint pros will slap you with, $45 dollars is all you need and the bike will be mint looking as long as it runs its a mint piece in no time

i used 150 grit on all the body panels (it was a primered race body already).
for the tank i used 80 grit and then 150 grit. there are still some scratches in the clear coat (they are minor, and can only been seen up close).
i gave it a few coats of paint from a bunch of different angles. (i hung eack piece from the roof of my garage so i could walk around them)
i wish the tank came out better, but im sure ill be redoing it again ina few months or so.
let me know if you have anymore questions, ill try to answer them.
thanks for everyones comments

if i was gonna stunt a streetfighter i would get a dirtbike or something
i have another set of plastics too, when i put those on ill get new ones so i never have to rock it street fightered.
again, just personal preference.
