Have you thought of rhino'ing the bottom. That is what I did to cover the patch up of my rusty rockers. Build thread is about two down from this one!

What bike do you have? JW I used to bike, and I still have mine. Its a 2007 Eastern Element. its a pretty nice bike.

BTW Nice job on the paint so far. I want to do mine OD with a big black star on the hood and front doors.

thats cool my jeep got me out of biking. but i have a 08 premium duo frame with odysey and fly parts. brakless and un cut bars. i know alot of ppl that ride say that its trendy but thats how i liked to ride. and as to the paint that is really similar to what ive decied on im gonna paint mine the same with a white star on the hood with war gremlin in the star. but yours would look great to!
