Thank you buddy!
I just finished painting and building her so no stickers just yet.
We are waiting on some brakes to finish her up!
The paint is a silicone acrylic base that is just 6 dollars for a tall can.
I have used it in the past and its actually really good, it doesn't chip or scratch easy and has a cool matt finish!
I think it came out great!
I could paint a frame for 20bucks plus 20 for labor so, for a cheep paint 40 dollars is a great price! hahahahahahahahhahaha
RideOn bro!

why is it in the can..I always keep a copy of Bike magazine, its handy to have that type material when you re in for a Big job...
i guess you can fiddle around with the sprockets when you have the real thing in there..

That is one of my favourite bikes. The maestro suspention works awsome! The bikes are affordable compared to other comparable bikes. In Canada they come with a life time warranty!
New color looks sweet!

Yes, Giant makes some mean bikes.
The maestro, I have yet to actually ride set up for my weight but the balance of the bike is spot on!
The only downfall of this particular frame is the bike is burly but the lower link under the BB is super thin.
when this was Momo bike he broke the link in the same place 2 times.
Great they had a warranty to replace it for him but he lost confidence in the bike and was scared to jump it.
Thats when he got the Bottlerocket!
This was a 2009 model I believe so Im sure the 2013 frame is much stronger in the links!
To make this color I mixed burnt orange, rusty brown and bright red.
In person it came out really clean!
I painted it in super think layers so the paint would wear out in places but never chip!
I think I did a good job!

wow niko I think its the best present to receive from a firend hiro is so lucky to have friend as you are !
Was it automotive paint or Spray can.was it a special custom brand .That bike defines a very one of a kind hot machine.
No doubt Momo will be on fire with that rig.
Maybe you should get into custom frame painting that looks beautiful.
