taotao thunder painting

[Thunder 50 Rider]

hi, so i recently bought and now am the proud driver of a taotao thunder 50, and love it. since i bought it i have really grown stronger dislike of the R stickers that they put on it and before i hated them all together i took them off. the problem that i have now is that there is a flat black area on the front of my fairings that i want to fix... but thinking further into it,  if im going to be painting it at all i might as well go all out and take off all of the stickers, paint, then clear over the paint. basically do a nice job and not a quick fix.  im thinking of keeping the black the same and fixing that area, and painting all the white areas of the scoot(uck) maybe like a dark green and possibly putting shamrocks on either side of the gas tank fairings. so im wondering who here has tao tao thunders, and if they have changed anything like this and how it looks if so. i love my scooter and this forum is awesome, im so glad i found both. thanks

P.S. here is a pic and you can just see one of the "R" stickers that i have since removed

We have quite a few members with Thunders. I don't really recall any of them painting their scoots, but I may be forgetting someone. They're not bad looking scoots stock IMO, so should look good with custom paint. Keep us posted on how yours turns out.

Stickers are easily removed with a heat gun (or hair dryer), then slowly & gently peel them off as it heats up.

To get rid of the glue residue a product named Goo-Gone works great.

thanks alot dan, and i def will post pics after i eventually get to it 90gtvert. i def agree they are a great looking scooter, tbh even better than i expected after seeing only pics and then getting one. i just got it in my head that the black color scooter wouldnt have so much white one it, its not quite but almost half of the panels are white.
