Re: 1978 Roger DeCoster
Naaaw it's much gooder! 
I'm looking for the following frames, frame & forks or completes by BMX products:
MotoTrac (nickle or chrome), Racer-X or a Super-X (with the double gussets preferred).
Thanks

Re: 1978 Roger DeCoster
It was red when i got it. The paint was a single stage with runs and other imperfections in it. so i decided to strip the red to see if it still had the nickle plating. It had it but it had plenty of pitting in it, so I primer filled it and sprayed it with base coat - clear coat automotive paint, then wet sanded it and buffed it out.

Turned out great... how much ya charge for paint?
