I got pretty bored so decided to buy a bmx off ebay, dont know much about them but went with it anyway , got a DK six-pack with a wethepeople 3-piece crank and MONGOOSE F303 rims.
In the advert [img][/img]

I decided i wanted to spray the frame black with white fork and handlebars , so i took everything off the frame and left it like this




I started taking the handlebars, fork and sprocket back to bare metal today

I finished the handlebars

I gave up on taking the sprocket back to metal as its going black anyway, so just took a bit of the original paint of

Made a ghetto spray booth in a ventilated shower for now

First coat of primer on the handlebars done

First coat of primer on both sides of handlebars and sprocket


Just done the second coat of primer will take pictures when its dry tomorrow
