Custom "Mayan" painted Fox 36!

The frame was Christmas gift by my girly friend and I reused/ replaced the rest. She also painted my fork mayan style since I have a bit of mayan heritage, being from Central Guatemala and such... check it out and she wants the hear your comments.

Wow that is awesome, did she paint the crowns white? How long did that take? I love seeing custom stuff like that

Awsome Riot and wicked paint job.

I hope there's clearcoat on it, it would suck to have it scratched easy.

the dirty front hub just killed that pic but its a sweet bike

 

[xtremedoritoes]

the process

she free handed it... she took it home and brought it to me the next day as a surprise.

 

[xtremedoritoes]

and yes theres 3 coats of clear... just ****ty clear where you dont see the shine unless you look at it in person

 

[ZHendo]

that's really cool, you're a lucky guy to have a girl like that

amen to that. pretty sick paint job. glad she did such a good job, that's a spendy fork.

 

[bent^biker]

damn dude, super sick. when is she starting on the frame?

 

[Liquid Fl0w$]

Its creative and different and its got a nice theme to it, but i cant say i would do something like that to my forks.

 

[RideRMB]

Its dierent but I'd ride it.

 

[opjones]

Awesome stuff, love the custom stuff. I think she needs to do a little more on the bike to pull it all together.

 

[Pesling]

Nice! But stem and bar really suck it down

 

[Cru Jones]

That's pretty cool and original. I dig.

 

[v-digit]

very nice. tell her good job. she rules for respecting your hobby like that.

 

[DirtEveryDay]

Tell her to buy a tattoo machine and git bizzy! A lot more people than you think dig that stuff! And I think you should also post a pic of the artist...

 

[xtremedoritoes]

she really appreciates all your comments. I dunno about a tattoo machine... i got her an airbrush kit and canon digi cam so far. She's truly an artist so we'll see. maybe tattoos are next

 

[DirtEveryDay]

If she can nail airbrushing, a tat machine is just a different brush. There's more in the sanitation and health aspect than there is in actually slingin ink tho...kinda kills the fun I think...
