Default New Paint: BK2 & XX4we

So the sun peaked out for the first time today since like October, and it gave me a few minutes to snap a few shots of the completed BK2 body. It is the same paint scheme I ran the last time I raced off road in '91 or so on a JRXpro. I seem to have forgotten how difficult and time consuming this paint job was; I remembered why I haven't run it again.

The paint is a combination of SpazStix hard anodized Deep Red (candy) with Parma Faskolor red, using Pactra Candy Yellow for the pinstripes, backed with Parma Pearl Silver and Sprint White. It took probably a good three evenings and a few hours of detailing to get it finished. I'm seriously debating on not duplicating the scheme on the XX4 or simplifying it a LOT.

I'm thrilled with the results. Now waiting for the summer outdoor season to get here is going to be that much more difficult! Oh yeah, you get to see 'merican-made oOple decals, too.
