2012.

I decided that I hated my bike's red, scratched color scheme, so I decided to fix it.

Krylon plastic paint, hand painted black designs from a wall stencil, outlined in a dark silver. Clear coated with flat spray.

I love this thing. I am going to be sad when I screw up the paint (it is a dual sport, this is inevitable in dirt), but it's a good lesson to enjoy things while I can!

I think I'll paint it like an octopus next time.
