Re: 1936 Elgin Project
Alrighty, here is a big update...
First, we have the frame after a few more coats of primer and then a coat of cream/tan color. You may or may not notice the headtube area is coated very well...the rest, just a light coat.
A week later, after the base coat dried, it was time for the big tape-off! Kinda hard to see some of the arrows going on because it is white masking tape. Just cut the tape with an exacto knife and applied by hand while eyeballing the alignment.
Starting to coat with metallic green!
After a few coats of green, some dry time, tape removal, touch up of overspray on white part, and a whole lot of paint fumes, the frame came out like this...
These last pics were taken at almost midnight...long night! The fork is a mess, and it and the frame need some touch up work. Still unsure of what to do with the guard and truss rods. Plus, needs clear coat. Stay tuned!
