Went to the garage
With burrito and beer
Got kinda bored
Now what do we have here
Not the final product, but I had this light in my mountains of motorcycle bits and I was thinking about incorporating it. Figured I could use it to trial some paint for the frame. Still one more "application" then we'll clear and see if it passes the test (Mrs Awesome and the proverbial Pinterest eye of power)

Capt, I can't remember / calculate which demographic you fit into, so I'm not sure if you remember Erector Sets from BITD? That's the first thing that popped into my head when I saw this just now.
Of course, yours look way cooler, and more 'life sized'. Can't wait to see what you do!

Lincoln Logs and Erector sets were big players for me growing up!

Whenever I drive past an open garage that is all neat and tidy I think, "That dude didn't have an Erector Set when he was a kid".Lincoln Logs and Erector sets were big players for me growing up!
Set up the poor man's paint booth. Ez up and 3 tarps.
Finished sanding raw
Etching primer
Heat gun and barrel fan
Scotch Brite the primer
Base coat silver metallic
Popped the sides down to show the metallic goodness. Not a bad view from my booth
Then it was time to continue last night's experiment

Like the concept and colors. This was the final rendition of my childhood bike. Homage to BMX and lowrider culture.
Wow! I love the fade on the tywrap!
The paintwork looks creative and cool, professional job! Can't wait til you slap it on the bike!

Glass bubbles?! MEGA cool!
Urea crystal, or Saran Wrap?
Saran wrap. I coated the wrap instead of the part for less of the black coverage and hopefully less streaking

It came out looking more like the crystal effect. Nice job!
Thanks man. I'm no pro
