The infamous pink Thunderbolt restore thread

[t-bolt82]

Also, I think a pic of the Tbolt still pink would make for a great avatar for sirenita ... since she's a chick who likes sirens!

I was working on a T-128 with a girly hairdo at work, but I forgot about it/got slammed with projects. I kind of like my icon with the deliberately bad edit job done in Paint.

Oh, I definitely love your current one. Just if you ever wanted a new one.

Wow, congrats on the T-Bolt. I think Lime green would be cool. It would also be cool if you painted it lime green with black stripes but that's just me. For some reason I always thought T-Bolts with stripes looked cool.

Congrats on finally bring home the most famous 1003 out there. Was glad to see it was run up at least once sense I saw it back on 01. Can't wait to see what you have in store with it.

3t not sure when it was ran. I keep getting told different years. I think it was around 01

Sirenita I like your bow one as well

Jason noooo lol. I don't mind it being infamous just not pink

Congrats! I hope removal and restoration goes smoothly and safely for you!

And I agree the lime green would be sick! Go for it!

I sprayed my STH-10 Lime Green (DupliColor Engine Enamel "Grabber Green"). Here are a few pics...Not quite done yet, but the projectors will be gloss black. They're sand blasted smooth right now.

The night I got it home from Ralston, Nebraska:



Day after:


**Lots of time sanding/stripping...primed, then:


Motor/rotor/stator/intake bolted on the home made stand I put together for it (the siren matches my fiancee's Haro BMX bike!!)


Pictures don't do it justice at all. Here's a video of a drill run with it painted and on the stand, and the "raw" projectors bolted on (video shows the color a little better):
