It was sun baked and looked horrible so my wife chose a color and I painted it for her.

Looks good! What'd you use paint wise and prep and all that?

Dude, that's one righteously bold color... your wifely unit wouldn't happen to be Russian by any chance would she...?
Blocked from work. If you get time post it up here directly would ya?
Hurt your feelings buddy but that color just don't get your wife's VX looking any better....
If the cladding were completely faded why didn't you painted back in black & kept the VX looking stock ?
Dakar was just the begining.
Regardless it can't be worse than the Superman VX that was on eBay a few months ago.
I wonder whatever happened to that guy...
Yeah, not bad - just bold. More bold than me that's for sure but then I've learned my lesson with the color purple. Since I have stash of motorcycles in the basement, the neighborhood boys sometimes drop by and hang out - sitting on the bikes, asking how fast they will go, etc. I don't mind since my goal in life is to corrupt as many people as possible with motorcycle riding. A few years ago I noticed that, although the light grey paint on my genuine asbestos siding was holding up well, I needed to paint my front door and shutters. My sweetheart suggested purple since she had a half gallon left over from painting her doors - she's bold like that. I think the name of the color was "Grape Jelly" actually. Free paint - sounded good to me! Looked fine too. Grey and purple - not bad at all. A few weeks passed and I noticed one of the boys who normally hung around had stopped coming by to see me. When I finally saw him out walking his dog, I commented that I hadn't seen him around much lately. He said, "Yeah - my dad said I couldn't come up here anymore because you're GAY." I got a quart of black glossy and took care of the offending gender bending bits that Saturday but I have to confess - whenever I see that dad walking the dog around the neighborhood - I always wink at him and sometimes I even tell him he's looking good - just to terrorize him... because that's what we purple-loving homos do!
So... getting back on topic... uh... Can we even get there from here? YES WE CAN! Wifey's VX - looking good, my man - just don't ride around town in it by yourself!
zadam used blue linex on his cladding
