Paint my trike??

[bigjoey38]

Ok Folks

How hard would it be to paint the trike? Looking at red and black....or one or the other

Anyway open to suggestions....

Should I live the wood alone?

Should I just the the bike "as is"?

Wow thats a personal taste question, but if were mine I would paint it. Green to match what you have?

99.9% of all the trikes are painted in some way.

Your trike is very different and classy.
I would NOT paint it.

Leave the wood natural---just make sure that it is protected by at least 3 coats of Spar Poly Urethane.

You can get it in Matte, Semi-gloss or High gloss.

If you want it to stand out even more, you can decide on a design that you like, decide where you want the designs and then apply the designs by wood-burning
(it's like a brand).

You have to sand the area where you want the designs, all the way to bare wood, do the wood-burning, then put on the Spar Urethane.

Something to think about.
