Autumn Red

Picked up the Pinto frame today from the powder coating place. Amazing! The color came out awesome. It's very different then what I originally expected, but I like it even more. I choose what I thought was a dark pearl red. Turns out the pearl (on an object with more surface area than a 2x4 inch chip) gives the red an almost orange/gold glow. The color seems to change depending on the kind of light it's in. (inside fluorescent vs outdoors) I also painted my fork upper, and handlebars in the same red. It looks really orange here, and in other light it looks like a dark burnt red.

I also had my 5 stars powder coated black along with some other miscellaneous parts which I'm still waiting to get back.

Now that I have my frame, fork, bars and wheels back I can start assembling the ped. Hopefully I'll have this thing up and running soon. More pictures to come, hopefully outdoors if it gets warmer.
