PHASE ONE

well, finally got some work done this weekend. managed to mate the two parts with minimal hack-sawing and drilling. just in case i wanna go back to a regular bike (bike end has only two holes drilled into it).

now that this is done, i have to decide what kind of finish i wanna use for the trike. do i send it out to powder coat? or DIY spray paint it?
hmmm....

i'm looking at either orange or white and i've read that powder coating besides black might give a non uniform finish in colour also, if it starts to rust under the coating, it'll be a real bi+ch to remove the coating and treat the rust.

perhaps i'll paint it one my own, so i can touch up the paint work as and when needed (coz it will get nicked and scratched as its meant to be a daily driver). i'll paint it matte...sorta like a rat rod "orange or vanilla sorbet" type finish...yummy!
