After two years I finally make some progress! Now riding!

[outskirtscustoms]

Well some of you may remember this old rust bucket that I drug home about 2 years ago.

Well today I found a product that actually works pretty good and turns "Rust" into "Patina" :lol:

Also put some new wheels on it.

I was amazed at how some of the decals came back to life but kept their aged and patina'ed look.

I figured that stuff would damage the decals. Its great to find out that it doesn't.

Yeah I didn't know if it would or not either I had this can sitting around so I did a test spot and it looked great so I did the whole bike.

If I keep it I'll probably throw some gloss clear on it since I already have some on the shelf. I might have it traded off. That's one reason I had to rescue it from the scrap yard, the patina is beautiful.

Love the look that gives! I have some mudguards/fenders that this might work wonders on...

Would have thought satin would preserve the look more, just my op.

Just to make it a rider I threw a seat I had laying around on it, put the chain guard back on, and well......you tell me.

Oh forgot to mention that is not the same crank or sprocket. This product is good but not that good.

Tried this stuff on another rusty frame.
