Re: Bounce to the Ounce Update 7/2

well after a weekend full of bicycle riding,hot rods , rockabilly and a few beers .. and the weather working on my side i started to paint the monark today it actually wasnt raining and not humid i was shocked..
so im using rustoleum gloss painters spray paint stuff
did the navy blue on the inside of the fender and the off white for the scallops i took the scallop on the front fender behind where the light will go i never did like them to stop before it .

going to let the off white dry and then ill do the blue and the fender rods the off white
