Default Do it yourself Stealth

Here are a few (not very good) pics of my do it yourself Stealth/Murder paint job. I couldn't get very good shots in the garage, but I'll post some more this weekend. I have some orange decals ordered which I'll be putting on once they show up:

Thanks.

I used automotive self-etching primer and then Krylon Fusion for the color coats (satin finish). I covered it with a Krylon "matte finish" clearcoat. About $50 in materials from my friendly neighborhood Wal-Mart.

Ditto, how do you keep the paint from washing off? I assume you put some kind of finish protection over the paint job.
Yea especially being a Stealth myself, I would like to know what paint you use. Although my stock seems to be more of
a flat paint look Vs. semi-gloss.

Cheers,

Looks good, Evil Genius. I was thinking of that myself. I'll try it out in a couple months.

Here it is after installing the decals. I also changed out the stock grips. I think I'm gonna add some graphics as well, maybe flames?

They're not as neon looking as the photos make them look.

One of a kind!
Flames? I don't know, It's easy to over do it! Think about it for awhile first.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
