Gasser Finished!!!!!!

[rusty513]

I bought this frame, tank & springer from OZ. I had NO IDEA what to do with this build until I saw this picture of this Willy's

So I sanded down the bike & put it in grey primer

Had to buy the white wall slick

Next comes the paint. It's going to be a little pricey but I'm using Testors model car paint. I'm spraying silver first then transparent blue & finally gloss clear

Lets see here, one can of primer (not testors) 2 silver cans of testors, I'm going to guess about 6 cans of blue testors & 2 cans of clear (not testors)

Just to be on the safe side, you might want to spray a small piece and hit it with the clear as a test. Build-up the clear slowly in light,mist coats. Keep track of the re-coat time you use so you can duplicate that when painting the actual parts. :wink:
Also, it would be nice if yer clear has UV protection so the beautiful blue won't fade.
Nice bike + neat theme idea = COOL BUILD!!!!! 8)

hope it doesn't. using a different brand
most of the time will lift,wrinkle,crack :
sometimes the result may not show for awhile.
its allways best to stick with same brand product
start - finish. :mrgreen:

Re: Gasser

Here's my make shift paint booth. A chain running from tree to tree through the head tube. It worked out great because you can rotate the frame completely around.

Paints all finished & the clear coat is on
