GoKart Racer!

Friday, February 22nd, 2013

I know you’re used to seeing bike frames and toys on this site, but it’s time to switch it up and show you other projects that we work on. Take this GoKart for example – we’ll be applying a high based metallic silver with a rainbow hollow flake. This paint scheme is applied to NJS Japanese frames, but we switching the platform with the same Icecream Feel.

Nothing too major, but this little dent bugs the heck out of me when I’m checking for perfect surfaces, but nothing a little TLC can’t fix
