Wow! All the color variety we have going on in this build off! Your bike already has a classy look to it. Do they make tuxedos for bikes? If so, this one needs one!

That is its tux OJ, didn't you notice the black tie? (Maybe that's a headbadge)

OK what will it be 20 inch front wheel or a 16 inch

Cool bike I would have to go with the 16"

That white is nice. After messing with mine today (it's flat white base coat) I was thinking how awesome Duplicolor color effex clear would look on it... it's a fine multicolor glitter in clearcoat. It looks awesome on everything I've tried it on. Might be worth looking into...

Good idea Carl you just don't see white that much for some reason, maybe people think it looks plain but white gives it a clean crisp look . Throw in some glitter & even better got to have some glitter on a muscle . My bike will definitely have plenty of glitter on it . [emoji95]

Alright so I hit a little wall, the first go around of powder-coating was put on to thick. So when I started rebuilding the bike is was denting and scratching like crazy, way more the powder-coat should but all in all no harm was done the powder-coater redid the bike free of charge, and is looks much better.

One question I have about water-slide decals is, should I clear-coat over them. yes or no ?

 

[Fv2]

I've been told if you print them yourself, you have to clear them before putting them on.
If you bought them online, the person you got them from should know.

Hope these help

Waterslide decals printed on an ink jet printer will definitely need clear coat, otherwise the print will just run off with the slightest sign of moisture (rain, washing etc) the ink has to be sealed in.
If they were not printed with ink, ie. laser printer, Alps printer, screen printed etc, they should be ok with moisture, but you may still want to clearcoat to protect them from wear'n'tear.

 

[GuitarlCarl]

Clear coat will also help blend the edges of the decal in.

On my way to finishing this project, got it all prepped for clear coating the decals, once I put a few light coats on I'll start putting the bike together.

Nearly final assembly time!
