The purple is a good color. I like the idea of using white contrasts but I wouldnt use it on the frame where you mentioned (maybe some white pinstripes??). I had a hard time getting my metallic blue sprayed evenly and ended up putting 3 light coats over gray primer and several clear coats on top. Seems like the longer I stare at it, the more uneven the base coat appears with the metallic.... but I might be too picky. What about putting the white on the wheels or some smaller pieces, even a white seat? Did you mix your own paints? Where did you find metallic purple?
Thanks guys. We are a little on old due to the weather. looks like we will be gett some where around 8 inches of snow. We will dive back in on it shortly. I need to touch up the purple and then add some white, then we should get it bach together. Jaret and I did get the motor degreased but I don't think I'll repaint it. I think we might add a clone later though. But first he'll have to get used to this first. I have it get it done so we can start on the build off :hammer::grind: LOL
I know what you mean about the weather. We've had a couple inches of snow here and the heavy wind in 30deg temps is unbearable in the garage. Needless to say, I think I may have to fire up the propane heater and clean mine out, it bothers me it's in such a disarray, but winter here in WI means you bring in all your crap for storage in the garage. My boy seems to enjoy his first ride on his stock MBX10 but running it through the snow bogged it down so much he almost didnt want to ride it. I wonder if there is another option in a 150cc range that would be suitable for him, the 212 is definately too much, the front end lifts on me unless I'm easy on the takeoffs. Keep up the good work.
you might look at the PMR jack shaft kit. Here's a link to the buils by another member

Ok will we finished up the Motovox:hammer::grind:. I decided not to add white to the frame.
This is Jaret helping me finish up the wheels
This is the final product. we might upgrade the motor later.
Here's a project of that was made perfect. This is a photo of Jarets reaction when I told him that the mini bike is his for helping me rebuild it!!
A special thanks to Motovox for helping me out with some parts that I needed. Great company to deal with!!:thumbsup:
