Awesome build! 
Great looking wheel set :wink: Is that Clone head a Lego? I might have to steal that idea! :mrgreen:

Thanks guys, its a regular stormtrooper, but yes its a Lego helmet. Thought I was pretty clever with that one...
Big day: PAINT!
Finally had a slow afternoon at work, with a mostly empty paint booth! Paint masks were hand cut and ready. Color had been chosen, and I felt confident enough to spray a bike frame lol. Onto the pictures...
Base color had been sprayed at this point in time, hand cut masking was down, and masked off around it to keep overspray out of the way.
White Sprayed and masking removed
Time for clear!
This shows the true color the best, but that being said its much deeper, and an orange. Not red. Pictures outside to come.
WORST INVENTION EVER!
My new seat arrived today too!
This is the other part I sprayed today. For a Caddy.

Me too!
Starting to come together, unfortunately I have the wrong Stingray rear fender... its for a 3 or 5 speed. So either I have to make a spacer, or find another rear fender. And the sissy bar is also wrong. Nothing major... Color isn't accurate in these pictures either, its darker. I cannot wait till I can get it outside and some good pictures!
+1! Looking really good!sensor said:

Can I enter this into the Site's Build Contest? Or is it to late?
Down to a kickstand, reflectors, and a bell!
Took her out today for a ride... loved it! Absolute blast just to ride around town on it. Turned alot of heads with her!
Looking good dude, I love that color. Also nice job on the masking and respray of the Schwinn logos. May I ask how you did this?
