Re: Re:

Looking good mate. I know you asked for opinions earlier in the thread but seeing the complete bike I reckon black chainrings would complete the stealthy look.

I know what you mean mate,i might try it because you get a better idea with a full bike,if i wasn't so picky i'd have had this built months ago
I'm going to start a new thread of all my splatter paint konas being built up so this build will carry on on that thread. I managed to get my hands on a 88/89 Fire Mountain so just need the 1990 Cindercone and i'll finally have the full set

Re:

Finished! After deciding the all black tyres were to much i've swapped them over for some splash backs and i think it's made a massive difference. So i'd like to especially thank Raiden and old Fat Ti you've cost me fortune only kidding lads i wouldn't of been able to start this project without your help. Also cheers Sinnerman for the picture of Joe on his Explosif with P2's it got the project started again and anyone else who helped out along the way. And yes i know no more i phone pics when i start my Kona splatter paint build thread i'll be using my new camera for all the bikes and i'll get loads done of this bike aswell.

Cheers for looking

Cheers mate,it a while but was worth it in the end

The paint i used was Tamiya model paint and a tiny model paint brush. I think in the build thread there's a picture of them.
