I took off the wheels and covered everything else in masking tape that I didn't want to get paint on, like handle bars, brake pads, cambering joints, ect.
I went to AutoZone and bought gray car primer spray paint, purple car spray paint, and gold car spray paint.
Put a couple of primer coats....let dry over night...then a couple of color coats....let dry over night....then place various stickers.
I didn't take the cambering joints apart, because I didn't know how hard it would be to put everything back together.
My T12 was copper.
So, a small area of copper color still shows in between the steering column and cambering joints where the masking tape was covering the cambering joints.
Most people only notice the copper area if I point it out to them.
Its not hard to do, and its fun to have a one of a kind T12.
Nice trikke man! I myself want a T12 roadster and hopefully i will get one really soon!

Hey Chad,
Did you take your Trikke apart to do the paint job and what kind of paint did you use...
Thanks, Mark
