Paint suggestions?

[gokartt]

Almost completed this build, just got to make a accelerator pedal. Meanwhile can I get some ideas for the paint colour, also what type of paint to use?
Thanks

I'm not sure what you have available in India, but any spray paint in a can is good at producing a smooth finish. I'd go with your favorite color but most go karts seem to be painted either red, blue, black or yellow.

Are all your metal surfaces clean and free of rust and oxidation? I can't tell if that's rust I see or just the color of the steel.

I usually sand the metal til its shiny, then paint with primer and then paint with the final topcoat which is the color coat....

If it's a dead axle, paint it yellow and green and call it the one wheel peel.

Looks pretty radical to me. What paint did you end up using and where did you get it?

Got any videos of it running? What could be more fun than making a driving video? Everyone's doing it.

Got the paint from the local hardware shop, no big deal.
Unfortunately my exams are going on so absolutely no time to even take it out.

But will surely make a video and show it to you
guys as soon as I get time
