MAN! Super paint scheme! The muted grayish green combo is perfectly suited for that bike!

Definite eye candy!

Wow, very little chrome. You painted the bars, stem, cranks, rims, headset. I see the hubs were spared. If I were you, I'd be half tempted to just go all the way and paint the rest of the parts, seatpost, trusses, light and hubs. What kind of paint did you use? You did all the detail work by hand or from stencils? That style of Columbia tanks is their best one I think.
The whole things really ties together well. Pedals and the tires are holding it back.
My Columbia says what's up.

the bike parts came from various sources and they're really very rusty, and i have to cover it . The paint i used is a spray paint in can. Its a Flat colored paint used to retouch miltary vehicles and our air soft guns and paraphernalias?,.. has a limited colors only. basically the colors of a comouflage. (i think the brand is COMOUFLAGE?) The detailing is manually done using a masking tape.

.... good masking skills. Sorry for the inquisition, but what kind of tape did you use? I've had trouble with the flexible painters tape, never gets a clean edge. Electrical tape and pinstripe tape has worked best for me. Good color choice btw, you created a military look without it being like an "army bike".
