I made it from a gas burner manifold from a furnace and a piece of pipe :mrgreen: Thanks for the kind words about the bike too!

I've rarely had luck painting Rustoleum over Rustoleum. It usually crinkles.

rusto's got a higher propellant mixture so it takes forever to gas out properly. its not ideal for layering 2 colors.
duplicolor or krylon works better, plus they have new fan tips on them that allow for cleaner coverage.

nice bike though, love the trucker lady haha

WOW! What a cool transformation!
fwiw, I think it looks good without a chainguard.

Needs a chrome tubular rack or seat rail or maybe some big shiny wing nuts on the rear hub, anything, really, to match the front.

Either that or paint the fork legs. 8)

I kicked that idea around and didn't think i would get a good finish on the fork legs over the chrome. I do have some ideas for putting some chrome on the back end. I hadn't thought of a rack, but i was thinking more like some bullet tail lights on each side or something like that? I do agree that it needs some chrome on the back for balance. They really never are "finished" are they? :mrgreen:
