1 Crazy Bicycle Collecting Mo-Fo! (2500+) Posts: 18544 (07/29/10 03:13:45) AKA-Raleigh Ron! â�» Site Owner/Operator Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I bought this one a while back finally got to take it out of the box to get a few pics and start making plans. It is greasy, and dirty but looks decent. I did change the chain guard out already. I like this type better so I matched the factory yellow and sprayed it to match the bike, it came out pretty close. I have owned a couple of these and they always are borderline needing repainted. I think I will live with this one. P.S. If anyone needs the paint code let me know!

The 16 x 20 Slingshot came in Yellow, Lemon/Lime fade, Rally Bronze, and more! The yellow one has grown on me, and I have ZERO yellow bikes other than this one. lol

I think it is real close, but I did have to spray it over white DP Sealer to get it to look right. The gray primer I used made it get a green side tone. It is a near butt match! Usually pictures will show a bad match better than the human eye. The guard was just stuck on the bike without even polishing it out to get a good shine back, Just lightly wiped off the dust. It is called Yellow Devil, so I am now calling the bike that too! I am thinking about adding a small decal that says that too.

I was planning to repaint it also, but posted it for sale.

I really like the colored fenders, maybe on one of your other slingshots since you have so many, you ought to take a set of your beater fenders and paint them up and stripe them and add them to another one of the colors of slingshots just for effect to see what it would look like. But....not like you need another project. Just a thought since you have the talent and material to do so. Great stuff..Smitty
