No I did not paint it, Ben Hagan Kustoms did the paint, he has a page on facebook if you want to look at his work.

All together... envy. My winter project turned into a spring project. Have to do some frame welding (unanticipated), didn't want to do that in the living room. . . . Finally threw the forks, wheels and bars back on and rolled it back out in the garage a couple days ago. Now it's snowing heavy again, but it'll be working weather in a couple days. Gotta pull the transmission (wasn't part of the plan!), so I think I'll go ahead and get the engine out of the way and bare frame it - might as well grit blast and paint it while I've got it this far, plenty of bare metal on the old '89.

Is a custom flake orange that really lights up when the sun hits it, the flames have ghost skulls in them also, I always wanted a old school flame job.
