Woah, Fancy new forum! Well painting has begun. here is a sneak peek of the chainring: I'm using rust-oleum grabber green engine enamel (the only color close to Kawasaki green).

Thanks! Now to paint the main frame. Hopefully it turns out well.
 
good job man , nice to know there is another teenager who likes vintage bikes :happy:
 
Well, Paint is on the main frame! Turned out ok. The engine enamel I got goes on very thick, so it was hard to hold back the drips without getting a lot of orange peel.

Here it is before paint:

Unfortunately, I completely ran out of both my green AND black! These cans run out so fast...
 
I like it. Put this bike together! I want to see a mockup!

Ok. with the weather being in the negatives for almost a week now, painting isn't going to happen. Lets just hope it warms up.
 
Working on putting it all back together now. I need to get some kawasaki decals to cover up some of the paint blemishes o_O. You cant tell in the photo, but there are quite a bit of problems.

Mocked up! I decided to go back to the original dual crown fork, and I like it way more. I still need to paint some more little things, but this is pretty close to what it will look like:
