DUCATI 998
New Ray's Ducati 998 motorcycle's are really cool.  In fact, I have five of these.  I bought a red one for my BBI Shi figure.  A yellow one for the "Kill Bill" Uma Thurman figure, and then two more reds and a yellow one, which I custom painted.  The yellow one is the one you see here.  New Ray motorcycle's range from about $22-27 and they are the easiest to take apart, repaint, and put back together.  I've tried various 1/6 bikes to repaint, but so far, this New Ray Ducati is the fastest and most simplest to repaint.  I used black glosscoat Krylon spraypaint for the first several coats.  Once finished, two more glosscoats went on the bike to maintain the finishing shine.  Trinity's bike in "The Matrix Reloaded" is actually dark metallic green.  I'm not too crazy about that color and shiny black looks a lot better (and matches her outfits perfectly).
