Hey Easy,

Doing the kickstand was easy. Obviously I took it off the bike when I had the bike up and the front tire off when I was painting the forks. I got my paint match from color rite, black (to match the frame). All I did was give it a shot of primer (oh, and I did not sand it as it is a rough finish already) and about 10-15 mins flash time between coats (I gave it thin coats), about 5 coats total. The only thing is, on the bottom of the kick stand, obviously the paint is going to scrape off when you put your kick stand out and park your bike. I am looking for something really thin (and black) that I can glue on the bottom of the kick stand that would hold up from the kick stand scraping on the ground when you park your bike. I was thinking about cutting up a hockey puck and gluing a piece of it to the bottom of the kick stand, but we will see.

Consider a thin piece of Delrin (black), shaped and held on with 3M Contact Cement.

Cheers
