So you did have to use the control module. I actually have enough parts to build another Atlantis, but I need most of the plastics and they are so expensive that I just can't justify it. Who knows, maybe I'll come across another one that isn't running. Eh, no big deal though. If you need some I might be abLe to help. The Atlantis als sold in Holland. I once rebuild a totally wrecked one for a customer back when I used to work as a scoot mechanic. It had an air cooled cylinder and a watercooled head! Never saw and have seen it before. I had a Honda Pilot that was air cooled and I put a water cooled head on it. No water pump either! It used convection currents, I was told, to make the water flow. I never had any problems with that motor either and was a blast to ride up until the day I sold it to some people from a kids circus. It's been a while since I've been over to see the Derbi, but lets assume that I'd want all the plastics including the handle bar plastics. If I can get them at a decent price then I can put it together and sell it. Let me know how much. |

I tried to paint on before that had different colored panels that I'd gotten from a couple different scoots. Another Derbi actually. Lets just say that I wasn't to pleased with myself. And I'm a perfectionist so it really frustrated me that I couldn't get it right. So, I would rather not have to paint them. But, I have no problem hiding a few scratches with stickers, because I am a total sticker whore  |

The first one that front panel is pretty messed up and I don't think I could cover it with a sticker lol. The second one looks just like the one I painted. Flat black  It came out okay, I guess, but I still wasn't happy with it. Now if you could get the plastics from a Red Bullet that would be hella cool! |

Spaz, just remember that black is the mixture of all colors. (I learned that in art class) It looks good to me. Bill |

PirateLabs, from that angle and distance it looked okay. But it was blotchy. This shows better how it looked.

Looks like a custom flat black paint job to me. Seriously, I think it looks good. I think you are being too critical here.

It doesn't matter how good it looks. A true perfectionist is never satisfied. I know because I am one. Lol
