Retrieved this lemon yellow ladies Schwinn from curbside garbage pickup.

The name for the build roughly translated is "Under going Revival".

The only plan is to use left over parts and unconventional items in the build.
 
Fabbed up the fenders to test the paint for the fenders & frame.

Torched & used light steel wool to take the gloss off the yellow paint. The result gave the paint a "bruised banana" look. I used the oops Gray paint as the undercoat and torched it. Then dappled the stain and lightly torched. The result looks like aged armour.

Next up is the fork.

Cool paint technique! What was the color of the stain before you 'torched' it?
 
Nothing wrong with curb side pickups & spare parts . If you can't fix it with duck tape or a hammer a torch is the next best thing !!!! Flame on bro [emoji91]

Whew! Has taken two days to get this point on One Front wheel disc. Still need one more application of stain to match fenders.

Since the disc are plastic, I have to go slow & easy with the torch. Thus, the increased cure time between torchings. Only three more to go after the final app on this one.
