I look forward to seeing what you'll come up with. I'd like to get one in similar shape to paint a matte black with yellow wheels...or maybe green wheels...the red does look sharp though...guess I'll climb that hill when I get there.

When painting bare metal, you should use an etch primer first.

It's a metal primer, use it before putting your paint on.
