Snapped this heading to my garage for work tonight.

I'm letting it set in the booth to cure over the weekend. On Monday I'll get it out in the sun and really see how it looks. I think it's more 'Lime' than I originally intended, when I was going for more of an Avocado/Gold. But, as long as it looks '70's, I'll be happy with it.Nice color!

Is that the treadwear adhesive letters, or did you stencil and paint?A while back I had mentioned the dilemma with my front tire. That the tread wouldn't let me do what I wanted to do, so I bought another smooth sidewall tire. Well, I grew to hate that smooth tire. This bike needs tread to look right. So... I decided to shave the sidewalls.
This is what I started with.

Treadware, or whatever the company's name is. I'll have to check. They weren't cheap. I've done the stenciling using Plasticote rubber paint. It was time consuming and the problem I had was them peeling off too easy. So this time I thought this would be a better, albeit more expensive, option.Is that the treadwear adhesive letters, or did you stencil and paint?
If stencil and paint, will you please do a how to thread?
Nice work on the guard! One might even say better than the original!The guard.
