I kind of agree, if you can afford the paint (hell its free lol) and you know what you want to paint it, then paint it. Cause it will just be a question of time before you do anyway

lol

I say go for it! I'm getting custom paint done so my scoot will go faster, and so my *** won't look so fat in my jeans!

Free paint job x3 and you know he does good work....hmmm

Sounds like a sore dick, you just can beat it!

If you like the red do something in that color but make it yours.

Since you are wanting to change the fenders, just go ahead and find a complete set of sheet metal on ebay. Then your painter can really take his time...and you will have little to no downtime.

+1, I just bought a set for 525 shipped. Im gonna shave the rivets, delete the plate/light holes and run a side mount plate holder. Lower it and mabey bob the rear fender. This way I can revert to stock If I decide.
