Diggin the fusty (faux rusty) paint job.

Cheers Mr Kingfish

Few pictures from yesterdays painting the frame.










Couple from today in the daylight.

















I also gave the handle bars and chainring a light scuffing with the sandpaper and wirewool.Getting them ready for painting up.Handle bars will also need cutting down a little but i'll need to see in on the frame first to get the right length.

Yeah, you better not take too long before you clearcoat that. It may get too rusty on you.

Great idea with the stain rust and the textured paint!

Thanks very much.

I picked up the matt lacquer today. Weather is looking good for tomorrow, so hope to get some spraying done outside.The weather has been strange lately.Perfect for painting the last two days, infact super warm! Last week I was out in the garden spraying and had two jackets and a winter hat on

I managed to get both the frame and forks matt lacquered yesterday and they have turned out real nice.I thought the lacquer might change the look a bit, but it looks great and is now protected it, so the stain doesn't come off.



I have finished both stain and paint on the wheels and got the lacquer done on the front wheel yesterday.







Little bit of dry brushing of vermin brown round the hub and spokes.




After the lacquer has dried



I'm half way through lacquering the back wheel now and have just given one coat of the textured paint on the chain ring,
so have left that to dry for a while.

Awesome job on the paint

Ok, so I finished the second coat of the lacquer on the back wheel this afternoon.Here are a few pictures painting the rust effect, after I put the stain on.











After the lacquer had dried.



I'll get the tyres on the back wheel tomorrow, but I couldn't wait to see what the tyre looks like on the front wheel. The logos will need another coat of paint to cover
them up a bit more and the nuts and bolts will need blacking in when the forks are on and the tyres will need to have a bit of muddying up, but I think it looks nice!




and a couple of pics of the textured paint going on the chainring. It's had two coats, so should be fully dry by tomorrow, then I can get the matt black on that too.





That's all for tonight.

Well done
