Hollywood Undead is Alive!!!

[udallcustombikes]

My daughter's '69 Schwinn Hollywood is ready for a face lift. The frame and fork originally came to me from a farmer's scrap pile. I built it up for my older daughter and she rode it for a couple years in rat form.

She recently upgraded to a '70 Collegiate and the Hollywood was passed down to my youngest daughter. Since I was without an active project I decided it was time to bring this bike back to a more lady-like bike since my youngest has a different style.

I tore the bike down and through a little horse trading with local member "pick" the bike has been media blasted and the smaller parts powder coated in flat black. The frame, forks and bars will be getting a duplicolor treatment consisting of

Sparkle Silver Metal Specks

and topped with
Metalcast Purple Anodized paint

The parts to be painted were shot with primer today, hopefully the weather will let me start laying the color down this week.

Re: Hollywood Undead

Re: Hollywood Undead

I used the Burnt Copper Metal Specks on my "Flatliner" and was really pleased with the results.

Re: Hollywood Undead

I used that paint minus the flakes over the base coat on this bike years ago. Was pleased with the color and the way it turned out. Looking forward to seeing this one finished.

Re: Hollywood Undead

The ano purple is what I had used on the apes and sissy bar before. It looks really good on chrome (apes) but not so much on chrome paint (sissy bar). Hopefully it turns out how I am picturing over the silver specks. I will find out after work tonight when I paint a test piece.

Re: Hollywood Undead

I love the way the Duplicolor Metal Specks goes on. This is the second time I have used it and both times it has gone on smooth and looks great. Here is the frame, forks, and bars with the silver base coat on.

Re: Hollywood Undead

Man that does look nice. I have been happy with the duplicolor speck paints.

Re: Hollywood Undead

Silver specks topped with purple ano paint makes a pretty good match for Schwinn's Violet

And the other parts

Re: Hollywood Undead

I shot the clear coat after work last night and installed the bearing cups this morning. The progress will continue after some errands this morning.

Those are my Vibram Five Finger shoes.

Got the bike reassembled with only one minor mishap due to my impatiens .

Here is the rest of the bike

That came out great :wink: I'm a boy and I would ride that :mrgreen:

 

[Crank!Basti]

sweet ride! All I'd suggest is painting the basket and it's holder black and get a purple chain. That will set it off!

Those mods are on the list. I will also be getting a set of replacement decals (chainguard, fork darts, top tube, and Schwinn Quality for the seat tube) when I find some for the right price.
