The pic of the fork shows how i recreated the factory look. The original finish on the fork legs was bad and there were some nasty nicks that had to be sanded out. Once I sanded all the nicks out, I kept going to a smoother sand paper. I tried sanding striaght up and down the leg, but when the clear coat was applied the vertical scratches looked like hell! I then sanded in a twisting motion around the leg and it now looks very close to a factory finish.
more pics later on in the project

Wikipedia "All Terrain Vehicle" Definition excerpt
Other smaller or lesser known companies, such as Tiger ATV, Franks, and Cagiva, produced racing three wheelers, but in much smaller numbers. Few of these machines are known to exist today and are highly sought by collectors.

Your trike is a prince dude. Totaly. You need to finish that thing OEM style, whatever it takes. It looks SOO niCE. Is this going to be a museum piece or a rider? I would museum it, and get a price tag and the whole thing but thats just me. Do what you will, but whatever your doing, keep on keepin on. That trike is AWESOME!
Rest in peace Rex Carlson

Frame: Omni (single stage) it's an 05 hyundai color. I sprayed it at our body shop
Swingarm: Omni (single stage) it's also an 05 hyundai color.
Engine : spray can from advance auto. I think it's called "cast hi temp", I'll make sure and get back to you.

It's distributed by PPG. It's mixed with hardner then reduced, 8 parts color,1 part hardner, 1 part reducer.
Paint: OMNI AE (acrylic enamel)
Hardner: OMNI 101
Reducer: OMNI MR186 (medium)
Before I put the color on , I uesd OMNI MP170 epoxy primer/sealer with MP175 activator.
As far as frame preparation, I blasted every last bit of original paint, then went over the entire frame with a scuff pad.
Hope this helps
