Jo ann fabrics had green on clearance, $1.50/ can. All other colors 8.99. Out of budget. Went a different direction. Nice selection though, plus this fabric panel. Note turquoise glitter paint.

I let her at it with the paint, the nozzle was goobered up, not her fault. No runs so far. i touched up. Happy.

Fancy masking, huh?

Im really trying to pull a neon and hot rod finish out of this. Candy and glitter are my weapons. Im not sure who likes the glitter, neon and candy touches more..... Wish me luck!

I wonder if that neon marking paint comes in a regular spray can. And good luck.

 

[ChimeraCycle]

It does. Im using it.

 

[ChimeraCycle]

I think

I need to try some of the glitter paint someday.
Looking forward to seeing how your paint comes out.

I used that green Glitterblast paint on my BO8 bike. It looks pretty good but is very fragile and prone to chipping.

 

[ChimeraCycle]

Good to know about the chipping. That's what always deters me from rattlecanning things.

I used that stuff on one of my BO bikes too. One nice thing about it is you can lay it on thick. The "glitter" gives it a lot of texture, perfect for hiding any imperfections.

I cant not think cotton candy when i look at this. I was very happy with the neon pink to silver fade i painted. This has been a wonderful practice canvas. Its more important to do this with Liv as a team than turn out anything to show off, so instead of spray glitter, we got neon craft glitter and some hi gloss clear. I spray she shakes. Much spraying and shaking later, we made it here. It has grown on me in the biggest way.

That frame just begs, "Park me here"!

Got some parts bikes! This is good. The wheels I had before that were blue, the tires were Harley branded black. Now I have two choices of purple wheelsets with white tires. Still trying to sort out fork, bars, chainring and seat.

Thanks for looking! I am in 0% panic mode and expect everything to fall in place!

 

[OddJob]

Looks like you have plenty of "flavors" to choose from...

 

[Funkme]

Your bike donars looks like what I have.
Cute little bike is coming along fine...

This thing keeps falling together. I dont know why i grabbed this fork, but it is working out too. I got some tube flattening up at the top like i was warned about, but super minor paint loss.
