I like the raw seatpan as it is.

Done.
I left the seat as is.

I harvested a pink set of pedals from another kid’s bike. I painted them red but they were too red so I went over them with a few misty layers of tan. Took away just enough punch to fit in.

Handlebars got de-rusted and painted silver.

It’s amazing how much color came back. Unfortunately the pin stripping on the tank and chain guard came off just by looking hard at it. The fender stripes though we’re tough to the end.

Thanks for all the advice!

It’s off to a completed thread.

And nicely done too!

Kid's bikes are such a great source of odd bits and pieces, and so often just thrown away.
