Where's your update? I'm pretty sure you've done some work and snapped some photos.

Sounds like the weather is already broken, you might as well just paint in your kitchen.

Re: 19PENNYSAVER71 (UPDATE 5/18)
Ok here it goes RRBikers. From last week until today I had plenty of time to wait until the rain stopped so that I can do some more work to my bike. I ended up going to a local bike shop http://www.performancebike.com to buy some tubes that were on sale. I found this bike in an isle and thought it was cool looking.
I also got in the mail some goodies that I ordered for the bike. One of the three packages have arrived which is the fork and I am still waiting on the tires.
So today the rain stopped and the sun came out and as soon as I got home from work I was outside setting up my professional paint booth so that I can get started on painting my idea for my frame.
This is somewhat of the idea that I am looking for the frame.
Here is my professional paint booth.
Ok so first things first. I started with Bulldog Adhesion Promoter, then once that dried up I painted the whole frame with Etching Primer which is a green/gray color.
Next step was to use copper tone colors and create the look of patches of primer mixed with fake rust on different points of the frame. I used Hammered Copper and Metallic Aged Cooper colors along with a dark burgundy primer.
Aha there I am painting away.
I then let the frame dry for a bit until I ate dinner, which btw was rigatoni pasta with italian sausage, soppressata salami and sauteed peppers along with olive oil with crushed salt and pepper to dip with bread and finally a diet coke. After dinner I took the frame to clean up the over spray of the copper and burgundy colors on the frame and I also wanted to show some parts of the bare metal. Plus it makes the colors fade into each other and gives it that worn look.
You can see how the colors are faded in really nice.
And here it is ready for a few coats of flat clear to top it off and lock in those layers of different paint colors.
Well that is all for today I hope you guys like what I am doing and the direction I am going with this bike. I am very pleased with how my ideas are coming out. Enjoy!

Thanks man, but don't forget, you have the skills in you too, remember, we invented the very first oversized exhaust tip on a 4 cylinder car.

Stainless steel, 8" diameter, back before the internet and all the "rice" tomfoolery.
Anyway, back to your build, I found your headbadge:

Nice painting technique. Finished product "NICE". Incredible transformation from where it started.
