I really don't live the yellow front brake rotor on my Buddy scoot. Anyone got any suggestions on what color I should paint it.  Thanks, Billy |

Not to offend anyone.. It's sad when you buy a scooter so reliable and well built, you have to think up shit to do to it.  Paint it light brown like the seat.(for contrast) Can you get it anodized? |

I'd paint the sob the same off whitish color as the accent trim on the scoot. That or even bright white to accent the white walls.
BTW, nice scoot.

You could paint it with any multiple colors of plasti-dip. That way you can just peel it off if you don't like it. Also, it'll look brand new when you peel it off a few years down the road when you decide to sell and get a 2t ;P

Classic red would fit it well or like others said take the paint off and leave it a silver finish

I think the first thing I will try is removing the paint and see how it looks. If I don't like it I can try painting it. It looks like a lot of these brake discs are unpainted and that may be a great look for this scoot.
I thought about black also. Painting it to match the wheel would be almost like leaving it unpainted.

Little late to the party here, but having it Powdercoater is another option... We do the rotors of a lot of bikes at the shop I work at....just don't spray it with brake cleaner and it will look good for years

I haven't done it yet because I have been busy lately. I played with iPhoto and made it silver/unpainted and it looks much better in the picture.  Billy |
