Hi Everyone. I haven't been on in a long time. I'm glad i still see alot of awesome bikes being built. Well I built this bike for a friend during christmas. It's a columbia frame I got from roadmaster a few months ago. I couldn't find a fork with a long steer tube so i extended a fork i used from a huffy cruiser. The wheels and other parts were from the huffy too.

Before

After.
The paint is house of kolor cinder red basecoat with house of kolor wild cherry and tangerine mix kandy.

Paint turned out really nice. That came from a spraycan? Ah after looking at their website I see its spray with a gun paint. It turned out good. Probably a bunch of work though.

Cheers,

No it didnt come from a spraycan. I know they sell it but it's cheaper to buy the basecoat and kandy concentrate in the long run.

I don't think you can put the hardener in a can like you mix it before you spray it with a gun. I was told by a paint supplier it clogs the nozzle on a can. It makes sense and its the hardener you want in a top notch job.

Man it turned out beautiful. Wish I had you around when I was building street rods. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
