Title: HOT LAVA ORANGE!
Post by Lil Em on 09/30/06 at 21:32:08

I thought I'd share this wonderful color that I just painted my bike.  My friend who's worked at Maaco for 17 years painted it for $150.  Excellent work!  The color is from the 2005 Scion XB Limited Edition.  Of course Maaco had a bible of colors to choose from and this is the one I chose.  I wanted something other than black, red, blue or white.  Any opinions?

Very nice.  We can definitely see you coming.
It looks to have a bit of copper color in it ... love the glow.   ;)

Good call Lil Em. I know the more choices you have the tougher it is to pull the trigger on one. I like it.

I'm in Riverdale Utah, which is just north of SLC.  It's also near Roy and Ogden.

Great choice of color, there is a Scion in my area that has the same paint and always catches my eye when I see it.

That is Orange done the right way. I had to see what HLO looked like. Relly nice. Now, how long did it take, that is bike down time? I can't go weeks without a good ride. This winter I may relax a little and do some mods.

I've always liked the color orange.  I grew up in Texas and went to High School in San Antonio where my school colors were burnt orange, blue and white.  I'm also a Longhorns fan along with the Tennessee Volunteers.  My Dad is a native of Nashville so that's why I follow the Volunteers.  

I gave him the parts on a Monday and got them back on Thursday.  Not too long!  Again this was my friend and he knew how anxious I was to get it back together and running again!   :)  I'm glad you enjoy it.

That's cool cuz my husband and I were looking into buying a Scion.  I haven't ever seen one that color but when I was looking through Maaco's color book it wasn't until after when I chose the color that I noticed what car it was from.  I immediately went home and did a search on the internet for the car so I could get an idea of what my bike would look like.  I was happy when I came across this picture.  I was pregant during the good riding months and now it's October and time to put the bike away. I'll have to enjoy my bike next year.    http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/9/web/2265000-2265999/2265315_5_full.jpg

Congratz on the new family member and make sure you add some sort of fuel stabilizer to your gas and run the bike for a bit to work it through the system.  You don't want varnish in your tank and carb.

Oh and not that it was unfortunate that I had a baby I meant to say because I was pregnant during the time I could have been riding.  I got some riding in but when you have a newborn at home it's not so easy.  I rode several times to soccer games and to work.  

Oh yes.  That's my husband's job.  He just got a 95' Vulcan that he'll have to tend to and our little boy's dirt bike.  I sure love Utah but it sucks when it starts to get cold. Thank heaven that indoor soccer keeps me busy during the cold months.  :)
