The red looks nice,just need to get the red stickers done and maybe some red nipples for the wheels.Looking good

Awesome...!!!

SICK!

Exactly what SE should consider doing with a future model!

Yeah thats gonna be really nice.
What do you have left to do?

wow...like the new photos...funny as I have been doing my Lil Ripper red & chrome the last month and a half or so. Actually have been spray painting some parts anodized red to keep it ol' school. That's how we kids did it back in the days...hardware store spray paint and clear coat...lol. I only have a couple more things to get (Tall Bars, and maybe red tires...saving pennies)...then will hopefully have new pics of my Lil Ripper up within a couple of months...definitely not as hot as your Big Ripper project.

Krylon makes a spray metallic base coat that is specific for the Krylon anodized spray paint (both are for metal surfaces). You might need a metallic base coat before spraying the anodized paint. Otherwise the anodized color won't show up. The metallic coat also helps all the parts match. Auto paint supply stores might have some sort of metallic base coat also?? I know they sell good clear coat for $20 a can. I just used the Krylon clear coat which was only about $6-$7.

For the VP Pedal cages I painted (Looks kinda like yours) . First I striped the paint with Jasco (to the kids...get parents help...Jasco is nasty stuff), did a little 400 grit sanding, cleaned the parts with simple green, wiped down with rubbing alcohol, Krylon metallic base coat (baked in 80 degree sun for about 20 minutes...helps to make the paint stick better without chipping), Krylon Anodized Red (baked in the sun...15-20 min...again better stick), Krylon clear coat (baked in the sun)...did a few coats of each. Actually came out pretty nice. Next time I am going to hang the parts from string or wire as some parts got stuck to newspaper or wood when drying.

Thanks!
I didn't get it clear coated, should I? have you had frames clear coated?

Thanks! one more thing to get done I don't have any experience with polished aluminum.

Sweet mother of all things big and small...that's just awesome. I have a Big Ripper, and love the menacing black, but this? Over the top cool...

None taken BONEz' a couple more examples  -
My buddies {aluminum} bars and wheels ( on an 08 Cannondale ) started pitting on his bike this winter AND THE BIKE SHOP SAID condensation in his garage mind you he parked it in Oct. 
I bought a Redline from Cali. a couple of yrs. ago it had rust and aluminum was pitting - The owner told me it was from the sea water  ( in the air ).
My R1 was a motorcycle and it slept in my living room  (   befor i was married  ) and i always washed her down  ( once a week ) and polished the aluminum  so it wouldnt leave water spots lots of work and still had to BUFF it lightly once a month to acheive the deepest shine and still seemed to pitt on me .
  Dont get me wrong polished aluminum shines deeper and is more brilliant than chrome - you cant beat the shine but it requiers high/regular maintenance to keep the shine ,since protective coating has been removed .

Hey DAWG,

I hear what you're saying.

My buddy has a 24" that came from So. Cal and everything alu on it was pitted really bad.

I live in the desert,so its either hot or hotter!

That bike is sick like the Flu.
