After 5 coats of primer, 4 of base colour, 6 coats of gloss clear coat then 7 of satin clear (not to mention about a roll and a half of painter’s tape), I finally have something to start assembling... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If it’s a Canadian made bike, CCM had the Swinger that had a removable/adjustable top bar... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I decided the super glossy paint job didn’t fit the theme so on goes the satin over it... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wait... what?!?! Cut up a new carbon fiber frame?? *gasp* *eye twitch* It's all good and I can't wait to see how you rat it out and what you come up with.

GAW! Now I can't decide which one I like better so I'd have to have both, lol The roadie in me would lean toward Stella but the cruzer in me is drawn to Toaster. Both are great builds!!

Stripped down and re-primed. Try this again tomorrow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It took the brightness right out of it. Looked like a tarnished old furnace duct. Picture gloss coat over gray primer. I also discovered the painter’s tape I used to tape off the lugs did somewhat the same thing after I sprayed the frame colour. Looks like they will need a re-spray as well. Live...
