Thanks, Carl/Luke! I hope to get the second color on this evening! I've been tinkering at stripes for several years. I can go back and see definite improvements as I get more practice, but I still have a ways to go....never satisfied with where my skills are! Carl, check out Coast Airbrush...

Took the evening to start my pinstripe layout and first color... Might try to get color number 2 down tomorrow... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

...Then again, maybe not! The weather turned rather cool yesterday and will remain for the upcoming week! I'm not confident in spray bombs in cooler weather, so the "trick" will have to wait for another bike! The "trick"? you ask.... DupliColor has a topcoat with flake in it...I think they...

That's a given! Still a trick or two waiting in the wings....maybe....

The frame had way too many imperfections to say it looked great, but thanks! I might have one more surprise coming on the color! Stay tuned....

Ok....as promised.... COLOR!!! It's Dupli-Color Sunburst Gold Metallic...no idea of the original vehicle!! It was an Ollie's score a year or so ago...59 cents for a 5 oz. can!! Used two of them over a red oxide primer base. Thoughts? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the input @GuitarlCarl ! I just pulled the web page up...Appliance epoxy is for Interior use only! UGGH!! I am now looking at farm implement paint! Alkyd Enamel...I guess if its tough enough for a tractor, it ought to work on a bike! Now I can look at some colors, albeit tractor...

I know.....its been almost a month with no new posts!! Sorry guys and dolls!! But.... I'M BAAAAAACK!! [emoji12] Between getting the wife's bike done, work, getting back to working on the truck, and really being wishy-washy on what I wanted to do for finish on the Spaceliner....well, enough...

Here is Wolfliner - 1966 Ladies Spaceliner I had asked my wife, if I built a bike for her, what would she like? Her obvious answer...an NC State bike. See, she only applied to one school...accepted and graduated in 1988! Started with a decent but dirty find...not really sure how I acquired...

Yep, all freehand! Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
