had to repaint ( elgin)

[rnchoppers]

paint would't come off to good, so i had to repaint it..i put the sprocket on just to see what it would look like,still alot more to do.i painted the whole frame white then made my own decals out of contact paper, then went over it with blue.

As a long time user, I would say it would take quite a bit of time to make Rustoleum that smooth.(Or skill and equipment.)

I had the same oppinion of Rusto until I used their flake stuff. I don't if they're using a different base than their other products, but I went on light and smooth. After two cans of clear laquer it looked like glass. They make a blue flake that looks similar to this bike.

Rusto or not, it's pretty.

Had to ask. I've seen lots of killer paint jobs here on RRB that sure didn't look like they were rattle can. That's a nice blue and if it's the Rustoleum I've seen at WM I'll have to use it on a future project.

The color sure is perfect! It's looking beautiful- I liked it before, and I like it so much more now. "Devil with a Blue Dress On" comes to mind. :lol:

Dupli color, in my opinion is the best finish you can get out of a can. I've been working on a bike I did 5 yrs. ago, paint is still nice and smooth and shines great.

That's it. Good stuff. I've been using the Rustoleum Metallic lately as well. Almost as good.
