As some of you know, I decided to paint the wheels on the 636 this winter. Part of the reason was boredom, and the other part was because stock black wheels are blehhh and gold is overplayed šŸ˜‰ (haha Tim!) So hereā€™s my DIY/Write-Up from over the winter: Firstā€¦ Take bike, put on standsā€¦easy enough! ![http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f44/Motocrossx23/Picture250.jpg](http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f44/Motocrossx23/Picture250.jpg) Then pull those ugly ass wheels off! ![http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f44/Motocrossx23/Picture230.jpg](http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f44/Motocrossx23/Picture230.jpg) Take a step back and admire your work (Shaky camera phone excitement!) ![http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f44/Motocrossx23/Picture215.jpg](http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f44/Motocrossx23/Picture215.jpg) Nextā€¦STRIP THOSE BITCHES! (And scrub/clean the living hell out of them too!) ![http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f44/Motocrossx23/Picture231.jpg](http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f44/Motocrossx23/Picture231.jpg) ![http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f44/Motocrossx23/Picture239.jpg](http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f44/Motocrossx23/Picture239.jpg) Spray a few coats of SELF ETCHING PRIMERā€¦ ![http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f44/Motocrossx23/Picture204.jpg](http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f44/Motocrossx23/Picture204.jpg) NOW FOR COLOR!!!

Mmmmm Sex! ![http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f44/Motocrossx23/Picture289.jpg](http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f44/Motocrossx23/Picture289.jpg) ![http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f44/Motocrossx23/Picture290.jpg](http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f44/Motocrossx23/Picture290.jpg) Overall I think they turned out great. Yes, they were rattle-canned, and Iā€™m perfectly OKAY with that. Thanks to ieatpaint315 (ryan) for helping me with everything :tup: and technomedia for hooking me up with some quality decals :tup: ![http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f44/Motocrossx23/Picture294.jpg](http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f44/Motocrossx23/Picture294.jpg) And of course Ian with the bonerific picture: ![http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3437/3363860135_829d787dee_b.jpg](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3437/3363860135_829d787dee_b.jpg) BTW: You can ā€œmurder outā€ a car/bike, you can also ā€œstorm troopā€ itā€¦BUTā€¦Iā€™m coining this as an official ā€œSilver-Surfedā€ vehicle. ---

Nice choice on color and nice paint work, I think your choice makes the bike look more appealing and more racey. Thanks too for posting this and giving me some motivation to continue work on painting my car wheels ---

The bearings were in good shape, though I may still swap em out sometime this season > [@BigEd88](#): > > nice bike! > > hey that snow blower wouldnā€™t happen to say hahn eclipse or snow giant on it would it? Why yes it does actually. That snowblower was bought in 1977 (Blizzard of 77 to be exact) by my grandfather and has been running strong ever since. Every year I expect it to not start up, and no matter what it proves me wrong lol ---
