Here's some pics:

Picked up a can of it, shot a light coat over gray primer. It's not gloss, needed a top coat, layed on about three coats of clear lacquer. Even though the cap on the can looks pinkish, it's as close to the metallic red color I wanted as I've seen in a spray can. Going to see how tough it is...

Anybody here tried this paint? I would think the color would depend on the primer. Looking for the old metallic red like the old 60's bikes and old Honda 350's :) https://www.amazon.com/Krylon-K03931000-Shimmer-Metallic-Aerosol/dp/B01K13DD5Y

Wow, nice bike!

Some nice bikes here! My latest project: Birthday gift from my loving wife: This new bike ^^ has the coolest matte green metallic paint ever and and a bunch of cutting edge components.

Finished it today.

An unusual old Japanese touring bike! See the chrome on that right fork leg? It'll clean up! :) Thinking new turquoise paint with 27 inch whitewalls. Or maybe red. not sure.

Wow. This: is cool! :thumbsup:

Gowjobs, you have inspired me to create something new with an old Peugeot that's hanging in the garage. Thanks!

1989 Schwinn World Sport, my latest acquisition.

Very nice! One of a kind, and made from a Flying Pigeon frame. :13: The details on it are amazing. How did you make the fenders gold toned? The copper seat post is a nice touch. Did you make the tailight?

Picked this up at a swap meet for $44 the other day. I spent some time cleaning it up, regreasing the bearings and replacing the tires and bars. Rode it around on Saturday- I like it. For some reason I'm getting the impulse to put these and this on it. Stupid? Never been done? Maybe...

Nice bikes! That Peugeot is a cool project.

Bent forks are hard to see sometimes. Hope this gives a little help:

My 2000 HD Sportster:

Sweetwater Reservoir in south county.

Thanks. I changed it recently to an upright touring bar, spring saddle and thumbshifters.

I knew this place existed from mountain biking stories on the internet, but they were inaccurate- who's into history anymore? Well some people, but not most people these days. It's not far from civilization, maybe 8-10 miles. I rode up there today and was really happy I did! 100 year old ruins...

I've always liked the Bendix coaster brake hubs. No real problems with a good one...

I have a '64 Typhoon, too. Are those S-7 rims? Tropical turquoise and India ivory- '57 Chevy color names.
