If spray painting i would recomend painting with pj1 epoxy paint. It gave a good looking finish and is more durable than anyother spraypaint I have used. No matter what paint you use don't overlook the prep it as important as the actuall paint I would sandblast the frame down to bare metal and make shure the frame is clean and dry before painting.

i just painted my frame, swingarm, forks and tank as well. just wating on a 75cc kit to throw the motor back in. i went with satin black by Krylon. sanded everything, then primed, then paint, then clear coat.

ya I'm going to pull my motor tommorow and start sanding my frame. I figure I might as well since I have to pull the motor anyways to put my zonger in. I already painted my rims flat black, I think I'm going to paint my fenders flat black also and my frame is going to be a ct blue.

I've been painting random bits on my CT70.. back to bare metal then primer , lots of coats of paint (belton) and then heaps of coats of clear coat (belton)

gotta have clear coats , really makes the job 100% better.

I got heaps of paint when i went out..

1x Matt jet black
1x Primer
2x Clear
1x Racing White
1x Medium Gray
1x High Temp Alloy Silver
1x High Temp matt Black
2x Metalic Red

I got so much paint coming out of my ears.. Run outta primer one of my clears and i've only done the front and rear rims, headlight and speedo. Have to wait for my weather to clear up before i do any more painting..
