ha,  i spent a few looking at this bike at the fling!!  very cool details on this frame, the paint is SICK

Sick ass paint and frame!  Nice score!

You take great pictures Gary! 

I did the paint job in this order, I polished the rear (raw metal) then powder coated the whole frame in clear. A few hours later I sanded the clear with 600 grit and covered the rear polished area so I wouldn`t get color on it. I uncovered the rear when I was done with most of the color then I did the fade into the polish area. After all color was on I clear coated with paint over the whole frame. I left open areas like ended the stripes in weird places because I wanted to put a bunch of decals on like VH, 5150, Kramer guitars, Frankenstien, EVH, you get the idea. I also had the idea of a guitar pick shape number plate.
I think this frame is one of the first oned DFR made so it`s a prototype. I think he made more afterwards but not like this frame. I realy didn`t want to see it go but with no job and bills piling up this was my biggest and more expensive project.
It is a very cool concept, the frame itself and the color sceme. Paint and powder together! I still dream about doing a JAD frame in the "Unchained" guitar design
